2000年2月17日 · I'm not an expert at all on the design of foundations.  However, I have designed many storage tanks to API 650 code.  For the smaller tanks we normally deal with, which range from 12' to 20' in diamter and 2:1 height:diameter ratio, there are 2 loads which normally govern.  The first is the seismic moment, which is ...

2004年10月26日 · Based on the info above, you might consider insulating the tank. You might also check with the tank manufacturer to see if they do foundation design (common with larger tanks). If this is a welded or bolted steel tank, I believe the design codes will require higher wind loading than what you indicate (typically 100mph, 18 PSF on cylinder).

2010年5月20日 · I'm trying to design a steel rectangular tank for water. I understand there is a spreadsheet out there on a previous post that is based on a paper by Kanti Mahajan. Does anyone have the spreadsheet?? I've can do some calcs like hydrostatic pressure on the bottom and sides. I can calc the thickness for the tank floor based on this.

2005年7月19日 · I have been tasked to design an overflow pipe for an elevated potable water tank. I have reviewed several sources to make sure that my assumptions regarding inlet and exit losses, pipe flowing full v. venting through pipe assumptions are correct. To date, I have not found a good comprehensive...

2005年6月28日 · A gunbarrel tank has the inlet in a degassing boot, which is a concentric pipe extended up through the top, roof, or deck of the tank several feet. The inlet fluid enters the boot below its midpoint. Liquids fall down, while lighter gases separate. The gas is piped through the roof and into the top portion of the tank (the gas phase).

2003年2月6日 · *Chief Structural Engineer and **Design Engineer Chicago Bridge & Iron Company Oak Brook, Illinois Page 23-1 - 23-25 Mr. sme75 (Structural) for your tank design application the above reference is from a project of 6/3/85. Storage Bin with a Flat Bottom and Cone Roof. If you have STADD 2003, it would take 10 minits to the Design. Leonard@thill.biz

2006年12月2日 · I also have a tank design program at work which will give design thickesses for a cone bottom based upon cone slope, size of tank and internal pressures. This design is based upon the cone being supported by an earthen foundation and not a steel skirted cone bottom. If anyone has suggestions as to how to determine the number of and thickness of ...

2014年5月7日 · I need to design a baffle in an API 650 tank. The tank is 47' Dia X 24' High. There is a baffle inside the tank which is 20' high by 38' long welded to the bottom plates and on one side against the inside of the tank shell. The baffle will …

2007年5月4日 · I have to design an atm. vertical S.S tank ( 8'(dia., 30' H), supported on skirt or legs. for milk , insulated . for heads, I want to use fabricated conical with knuckle . could some one response to theses questions please: 1- witch standards can I use.( I know API650, but this consider only vertical tank with flat bottom )

2006年9月27日 · A plain-jane tank may work great, but then again, that's quick and easy by spreadsheet or hand as well. Check on whether any software you're buying includes Addendum 4 to API-650, as well. Upvote 0 Downvote
