Height of Tank given Maximum Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Tank = Pressure Corroded Plate/Density of Liquid Stored
H = p/ρ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Tank - (Measured in Millimeter) - Height of tank is the vertical distance from the floor to the top of the tank. The height of a tank can vary depending on the type, size, and purpose of the tank.
Pressure Corroded Plate - (Measured in Newton per Square Millimeter) - Pressure Corroded Plate can cause the corrosive substances to penetrate the metal more deeply, leading to more extensive corrosion and potentially weakening the structural integrity of the plate.
Density of Liquid Stored - (Measured in Gram per Cubic Millimeter) - Density of Liquid Stored is a relative measurement of the mass of an object compared against the space that it occupies.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pressure Corroded Plate: 0.02 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 0.02 Newton per Square Millimeter No Conversion Required
Density of Liquid Stored: 0.001 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1E-09 Gram per Cubic Millimeter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = p/ρ --> 0.02/1E-09

Evaluating ... ...

H = 20000000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20000 Meter -->20000000 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

20000000 ≈ 2E+7 Millimeter <-- Height of Tank

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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

Height of Tank given Maximum Pressure Formula

Height of Tank = Pressure Corroded Plate/Density of Liquid Stored
H = p/ρ

What is Design Pressure?

Design pressure is the maximum pressure that a system or component is intended to withstand during normal operation. It is a key factor in the design and analysis of systems and components that are subjected to pressure, such as pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels.
