152 RECTANGULAR TANKS UNDER HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE Flat-walled tanks due to their mechanically disadvantageous shape are used for los hydrostatic pressure only. The quantity of material required for rectangular tanks = higher than for cylindrical vessels of the same capacity. However, sometimes the applic: tion of rectangular tanks is preferable because of their easy fabrication and the goo: utilization of space. MAXIMUM SIZE Unstiffened tanks may be not larger than 30 cu. ft. and tanks with stiffenings, 140 cu ca feet capacity. For larger tanks, the use of stay rods is advisable for economic reasons. RATIO OF SIDES Length = 1.5B and Height or Width = 0.667 B, where B= VV; V = Volume , cubic feet DESIGN The formulas on the following pages are based on maximum allowable deflectice A= L/500, where L denotes the longer side of the plate. Allowable stress for the plz material may be taken as allowed by the ASME Code for Pressure Vessels Section Vit Div. 1. The values of @ used in the formulas depend on the proportion of the sides ankg are plotted in the chart on the facing page. a WELDING OF PLATE EDGES Some preferable welded joints of plate edges: The stiffenings may be attached to the tank wall either by intermittent or continucs welding and may be placed inside or outside.
