Tank Thickness
Tank Thickness
where P is the absolute pressure, D is the tank diameter, S is the tension strength which is equal to 205 MPa for stainless steel AISI 304, E = 1.0 for 100% radiography and CA is the corrosion allowance equal to 0.2 in or 5.08cm (Callister, 2007). Taking the liquefaction tank as the example: D=Hliquid = 3.070m Pabs= 101325 Pa +liquidgHliquid P= (1026.11kg/m3)(9.81m/s2)(3.088m) + 101325 Pa = 132409.2375 Pa r = 0.5D + CA r = 0.5(3.070m) + 0.508x10-2m = 1.5491 ( ( tshell = 6.0751 mm The thickness of the semi-elliptical head is calculated as follows: )( ) )( ( ) ) ( )
