API 653 Minimum Thk. Calculation

This document provides calculations to determine the minimum thickness for the shell of a welded fire water storage tank according to API 653 standards. It lists the tank specifications, material properties, and calculations. The minimum required thickness is determined to be 10.20 mm including a 3 mm corrosion allowance. Half of the minimum thickness without corrosion allowance is calculated to be 3.60 mm as required.

MINIMUM THICKNESS CALCULATION FOR WELDED TANK SHELL

1.0 DESIGN CODE & SPECIFICATION


: API 653, 5th Edition
1.1 TANK
Service : Fire Water Tank
Tag Number : T-7001
:
1.2 GEOMETRIC DATA
Inside diameter, Di 45.93 ft = 14000 mm
Tank height, H 49.21 ft = 15000 mm
Specific gravity of operating liquid , S.G. = 1.02
Nominal capacity = 2310.00 m³
Design liquid level, H = 15000 mm
Shell Course Number (1 if 2 & below, 2 if 3 & above) = 1

1.3 MATERIAL & MECHANICAL PROPERTIES


Component = Shell Plate
Material = A 36
Tensile Stress T (psi) = 58000.00
Yield Stress Y (psi) = 36000.00
Corrosion Allowance CA (mm) = 3.00

2.0 SHELL DESIGN THICKNESS CALCULATION


2.1 MATERIAL & MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Material used : A 36
Specified minimum tensile stress, T = 58000 psi
Specified minimum yield stress, Y = 36000 psi
Joint Efficiency, E = 0.85
Max.allowable design stress,S = 24882 psi
(As per 4.3.3.1 and Table 4.1 )

2.2 TANK SHELL THICKNESS CALCULATION


D = Inside diameter of tank 14000 mm = 45.93 ft
H = Design liquid level 15000 mm = 49.21 ft
G = Specific gravity of liquid = 1.02
CA = corrosion allowance 3 mm = 0.12 in
S = Allow. stress for design condition 172 N/mm² = 24882 psi

Minimum acceptable thickness (tmin) + CA

= 10.20 mm

One-half the minimum acceptable tank shell thickness exclusive of the corrosion allowance (tmin/2)
(As per requirement of 4.3.2.2)
tmin/2 = 3.60 mm
