3) Stress of tank
𝜎1,𝜎2 = PD/4t
From the above table, the minimum wall thickness is 3/16 in = 0.005 m
4) Design of roof
According to code AP1650, the required minimum thickness of self-supported fixed cone roof, t
(Myers, 1997).
for D = 8.4415 ft
t = 8.441467
400sin10°
= 0.1215649 in/3.0877484 mm
Because of the roof thickness is 3.08774841 mm, the thickness of shell wall is also 3.0877484+
corrosion allowance of 2 mm.
so, the overall wall thickness for this tank, tw = 5.08775 mm.
