Dear All,
I have started using API 620 for following tank.
Tank internal design pressure / pressure rating (As per API 620) = 0.8 bar (g)
Tank Diameter = 3450 mm Tank height = 5900 mm liquid density = 920 Kg/m3
tank shell thickness = 04 mm (proposed), Top cone roof thk = 04 mm (proposed)
Now I calculated the 2 forces at a section in shell at the bottom of shell
They are T1 and T2 as per API 620 nomenclature. T1 = 10570 N/mm and T2 = 229 N/mm
When I am using T1 as the largest for shell thickness calculation using Sst = 126 N/mm2 (linear interpolation) and E=.85 the thickness comes too much higher 98mm???
Please help.
Regards
