API 650 Design Calculations: D D D D T T

The document summarizes API 650 design calculations for a storage tank. It provides calculations for the minimum shell thickness of 0.2365 inches for the tank's main shell course based on a normal diameter of 94.5 feet and depth of 18 feet. It also provides calculations for a thinner fourth course shell thickness of 0.1342 inches and an annular bottom plate thickness of 0.3750 inches. Surface area calculations are given for the tank shell, roof, and bottom floor.

API 650 Design Calculations


Shell Design :

td = 2.6(D)(H -1)(G)/Sd= 0.196


td =td / tt = 2.6(D)(H-1)/(St) =
td = Miniumum shell thickness = 0.2365 inches

D = Normal tank diameter , in feet 94.5


H = depth of tank , in feet 18
G = design Specific gravity of liquid 1
Sd = allowable Stress for Design condition 21,300
E = joint efficiency 0.85%
St = allowable stress 516-60 Hydro Test 24,000
CA = Corrosion Allowance 0.0625

For Fourth Course 516-60 Plate 0.2500

td = 2.6(D)(H -1)(G)/Sd= 0.081


td =td / tt = 2.6(D)(H-1)/(St)
td = Miniumum shell thickness, in inches 0.1342

D = Normal tank diameter , in feet 94.5


H = depth of tank , in feet 8
G = design Specific gravity of liquid 1
Sd = allowable Stress for Design condition 21,300
E = joint efficiency 0.85%
St = allowable stress 516-60 Hydro Test 24,000
CA = Corrosion Allowance 0.0625

For Fifth Course 516-60 Plate 0.2500

Annular Bottom Plate Thickness 0.3750

D = Diameter in Feet 50.00


H = Height in Feet 32.00
V = Volume in Cubic Feet

2
Tank Shell surface = p*D*H = 5,027 Ft of Shell surface area

Tank Roof surface = p*D2/4 = 2


1,963 Ft of Roof Area (estimated)

Tank Floor surface = p*D2/4 = 2


1,963 Ft of Bottom Floor area
