Number of Layers Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate
N = H/w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Layers - Number of layers is a term used to refer to the number of individual layers of material that are used to create a component or structure.
Height of Tank - (Measured in Meter) - 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.
Width of Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Plate is the width or the lateral dimension of the plate or a metal sheet under consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of Tank: 4000 Millimeter --> 4 Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Plate: 70 Millimeter --> 0.07 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = H/w --> 4/0.07

Evaluating ... ...

N = 57.1428571428571

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

57.1428571428571 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

57.1428571428571 ≈ 57.14286 <-- Number of Layers

< 15 Design of Shell Calculators

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

Number of Layers Formula

Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate
N = H/w

What are Layers?

Layers are sheets or other components of material that are arranged one on top of the other. They are stacked in order to create a structure or component with a specific shape, size, and purpose. Layers can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and composite materials, and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as insulation, protection, and strength.

How to Calculate Number of Layers?

Number of Layers calculator uses Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate to calculate the Number of Layers, Number of layers is a term used to refer to the number of individual layers of material that are used to create a component or structure. A single layer of material is typically referred to as a "mono-layer," while multiple layers of material are referred to as "multi-layer." The number of layers used in a component or structure can affect its strength, durability, weight, and other characteristics. Number of Layers is denoted by N symbol.

How to calculate Number of Layers using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Number of Layers, enter Height of Tank (H) & Width of Plate (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Number of Layers calculation can be explained with given input values -> 57.14286 = 4/0.07.

What is Number of Layers?

Number of layers is a term used to refer to the number of individual layers of material that are used to create a component or structure. A single layer of material is typically referred to as a "mono-layer," while multiple layers of material are referred to as "multi-layer." The number of layers used in a component or structure can affect its strength, durability, weight, and other characteristics and is represented as N = H/w or Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate. 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 & Width of Plate is the width or the lateral dimension of the plate or a metal sheet under consideration.

How to calculate Number of Layers?

Number of layers is a term used to refer to the number of individual layers of material that are used to create a component or structure. A single layer of material is typically referred to as a "mono-layer," while multiple layers of material are referred to as "multi-layer." The number of layers used in a component or structure can affect its strength, durability, weight, and other characteristics is calculated using Number of Layers = Height of Tank/Width of Plate. To calculate Number of Layers, you need Height of Tank (H) & Width of Plate (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Height of Tank & Width of Plate and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
