tank calculation(pressure vessels)

• What is in the tank?
• At what temperature and pressure?
• How big is the tank?
• What general shape is it?
• What is it made of?
• Where is it?
• What is nearby it?

If you have ASME section Viii Division 1 it is given there.

OR EN 13445

For thickness you need to follow API 650 for normal Vertical Storage tank at atm pressure or API 620 for Ammonia Storages and like where the tank is maintained above atm pressure. This depends on the sevice. Shell Plate thickness requirement varies depending on diameter and height of the tank, density of product (API 680 for products like Suphuric acid).

Roof can be fixed cone roof for normal non volatile products, floating roof for volatile products like Gasoline, Naptha,Benzene, dome roof for prodcts like Ammonia, Butane where its vapour exerts pressure on the roof.

Floating roof can be External Floating roof or Fixed cone roof can be converted into Internal Aluminium floating roof depending on the requirement.

hi srijit,

i haverequirement for H2SO4 92-96% ph value 1 storage tank.

ASME section lll Div 1 for the design is ok? or suggest a suitable material

for this as per API 680.

can you forward the detail as per API 680 for selection of material of

constuction.

kind regards,

Smijo

It would be unusual to store <...H2SO4 92-96% ph value 1...> in a <...pressure vessel...>. It is normally in closed and appropriately vented tanks. So the design code will be different.
