 1. Tank Details

Tank Height: 2000 mm

Tank Dia – 914 mm

Design Pressure: Atmospheric pressure

Design Temperature: Ambient temperature – 76 Deg C

Material of Construction: ASTM A 240, SS316

Corrosion Allowance: 0 mm as recommended by consultant.

Weld Joint Efficiency: 0.85

Roof Type: None (open-top tank)

2. Material Properties

ASTM A 240 SS 316 is used for the shell and base plate.

Material Yield Strength: As per ASTM A36 or equivalent- 205 MPa

Material Ultimate Tensile Strength: As per ASTM A36 or equivalent- 515 MPa

3. Design Loads

Dead Load: Weight of the tank shell and bottom plate – 580.1 Kgs

Live Load: N/A (no roof)

Wind Load: N/A (no roof)

Seismic Load: As per Annex E of API 650 this is considered as SUG1 as the fluid is not essential post-
earthquake recovery and essential to the life and health of public (Which is SUG 2) nor hazardous / lack
secondary control or provide direct service to major facilities (SUG 3).

Hence no seismic loading is assumed as the process fluid is SUG 1 - condensate water.

4. Shell Design

Shell Thickness Calculation: Minimum 5 mm. (As per Annex A – A.1.5- Table A.2.A) The Shell thickness is
calculated as per Table A.4

Calculation as per formula.

t = 4.9D(H-0.3)G
----------------- + CA
E* 145
Where D= Dia of the tank in meters = 1 m

t = Thickness of the shell in mm

Page 4 of 7
H= Design liquid level in meters = 2 m

G is the specific gravity of the liquid (Shall not be less than 1) = 1

E= Joint efficiency factor – 0.85 % for 10 % Radiography on seam welding and 100 % on T’s

CA is corrosion allowance – taken as “0” as per consultant recommendation.

Based on above calculation t = 0.68

Recommended Shell thickness is = 6 mm

5. Bottom Plate Design

As per 5.4.1 bottom plate thickness shall not be less than 6 mm + corrosion allowance. Hence in our case
it will be minimum 6 mm.

Bottom Plate Thickness Calculation:

Tmin = P.D
--------- + CA
2.S.F
t min = Minimum required thickness of the bottom plate in mm

P = Design pressure (hydrostatic pressure) = 19.62 Kpa + Self weight which is 3.77 Kpa = 23.39 KPa

D = Diameter of the tank in mm = 1000

S = Allowable stress of the material (assumed at 60% of the yield strength = 123 MPa

F = Factor of safety = 1.5

CA = Corrosion allowance = 0

Based on the above the bottom plate thickness is 9.34

Hence recommended bottom plate thickness is 10 mm.

6. Nozzle Design

Nozzle Sizes and Locations:

N1: 250 mm , 15# RF SO Flange

Outer dia of pipe- 273 mm

Wall thickness of pipe – 12.7 mm

Diameter of reinforcement pad – 720 mm

Thickness of reinforcement pad plate –

Calculate Required Pad Thickness (t_pad1):

Page 5 of 7
Determine the difference between the calculated nozzle neck thickness (t_n1) and the thickness of the
tank shell at the nozzle location.

Thickness of the nozzle neck – 12.7 mm

Thickness of the tank shell at the nozzle location is 6mm

Reinforcement pad thickness = 12.7 – 6 mm = 6.7 mm

Hence recommended pad thickness = 8 mm.

Weeping Hole Location: 316 mm from center of nozzle.

Weeping holes are generally located at the lowest point of the reinforcement pad to facilitate drainage.

Size of weeping hole – 6mm

Orientation – bottom side of the reinforcement pad.

Location -

N2: 25 mm with 300 # NPT, elevation 100 mm from bottom

N3: 25 mm with 300 # NPT, elevation 1000 mm from bottom

As per Table 5.6a dimensions of nozzles

Outside Dia of pipe – 33.4 mm

Wall thickness – 6.35 mm

Reinforcement pad – Not required.

N4: 50 mm with 300 # NPT, elevation 100 mm from bottom

As per Table 5.6a dimensions of nozzles

Outside Dia of pipe – 60.3 mm

Wall thickness – 5.54 mm
