600KL Storage Tank Analysis

This document provides a finite element analysis and calculations for a 600,000 liter base oil storage tank according to ASME code standards. It details the tank dimensions, material properties, and calculations for required thickness, maximum internal pressure, volume, and weight. The analysis determines that the minimum required thickness of 0.201 inches is less than the nominal wall thickness of 0.403 inches, and the maximum allowed internal pressure of 29 psi is greater than the design pressure of 14.5 psi.

Treq provides a worst case required thickness for nozzle analysis for a nozzle located on the long seam or circ seam
This sheet will not calculate thick walled vessels
Check Not a thick walled vessel, calculations are valid
The UG-16(b) minimum thickness requirement has not been taken into consideration here.
This sheet cannot be used to check for allowable exterior pressure loads.
Use the Weld Efficiency program to calculate El and Ec
