Circumferential Length of Plate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Circumferential Length of the Plate = (pi*Nominal Tank Diameter)-(Weld Allowance*Number of Plates)
C_length = (pi*D)-(W*n)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Circumferential Length of the Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Circumferential Length of the Plate is the length of the outermost edge of the plate when measured around the circumference.
Nominal Tank Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The nominal tank diameter is a measure of the size or capacity of a tank. It refers to the diameter of the tank as designated by the manufacturer or designer.
Weld Allowance - (Measured in Meter) - Weld allowance is an extra length added to a component or structure in order to allow for welding. It is the additional space that must be allowed for the welding process.
Number of Plates - Number of Plates is the count of plates in the leaf spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Nominal Tank Diameter: 3000 Millimeter --> 3 Meter (Check conversion here)
Weld Allowance: 2.8 Millimeter --> 0.0028 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Plates: 8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_length = (pi*D)-(W*n) --> (pi*3)-(0.0028*8)

Evaluating ... ...

C_length = 9.40237796076938

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.40237796076938 Meter -->9402.37796076938 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9402.37796076938 ≈ 9402.378 Millimeter <-- Circumferential Length of the Plate

Maximum Deflection of Corroded Plate Thickness

Go Deflection = (Constant for Maximum Deflection*Hydrostatic Pressure*Longer Side of the Tank^(4))/(Modulus of Elasticity Jacketed Reaction Vessel*(Plate Thickness-Corrosion Allowance)^(3))

Minimum Thickness of Shell at Bottom

Go Minimum Thickness of Shell = ((Hydrostatic Pressure*Nominal Tank Diameter)/(2*Allowable Stress*Joint Efficiency for Shell))+Corrosion Allowance

Minimum required Total Plate Thickness

Go Thickness Corroded Plate = ((Constant of Scaled Distance*Pressure Corroded Plate*(Length Corroded Plate^2))/(Maximum Allowable Bending Stress))^0.5

Circumferential Length of Plate

Go Circumferential Length of the Plate = (pi*Nominal Tank Diameter)-(Weld Allowance*Number of Plates)

Effective Area of Roof Plates

Go Effective Area of Roof Plates = 0.75*Roof Plate Thickness*(Radius of Curvature of Roof*Roof Plate Thickness)^0.5

Effective Area of Shell Plates

Go Effective Area of Shell Plates = 1.5*Shell Plate Thickness*(Radius of Storage Tank*Shell Plate Thickness)^0.5

Total Area at Roof Load

Go Total Area at Roof Load = Area of the Curb Angle+Effective Area of Shell Plates+Effective Area of Roof Plates

Minimum Width of Annular Plate

Go Minimum Width of Annular Plate = Total Extension+300+Height of Tank+Length of Lap Weld

Total Shell Plates required

Go Total Shell Plates Required = Number of Layers*Plates required for Each Layers

Pressure at Bottom of Tank

Go Hydrostatic Pressure = 10*Density of Liquid Stored*(Height of Tank-0.3)

Maximum Liquid Pressure on Tank Walls

Go Pressure Corroded Plate = Density of Liquid Stored*Height of Tank

Height of Tank given Maximum Pressure

Go Height of Tank = Pressure Corroded Plate/Density of Liquid Stored

Section Modulus of Wind Girder

Go Section Modulus = 0.059*Diameter of Tank^(2)*Height of Tank

Circumference of Bottom Plate

Go Circumference of Bottom Plate = pi*Bottom Plate Diameter

Number of Layers

Go Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate

Circumferential Length of Plate Formula

Circumferential Length of the Plate = (pi*Nominal Tank Diameter)-(Weld Allowance*Number of Plates)
C_length = (pi*D)-(W*n)

What is Design Length?

Design length is the length of a component or structure that is determined by the engineer or designer based on the application and intended purpose. It is the length that the component must meet in order to achieve the desired performance and structural requirements.
