    Roof Notes

    • Types of internal floating roofs: Non-contact & Full-contact


    • Types of external floating roofs: Pontoon & Double Deck
    • For Floating roof minimum thickness’ page 143 of EEMUA 159
    • Roof loads = snow + Vacuum or People + Vacuum
    • Maximum distance between tank roof supports: Cone roof less than 1.7m
    Dome roof less than 3.35m
    • Maximum distortion is 4% of the distance between the roof supports
    • Common failure of a floating roof: poor drainage (rain water collecting)
    • Liquid mounted rim seal is the most efficient
    • A seal with an inward movement of 100mm requires an outward movement of 300mm
    • The effective function of the frangible joint is less certain in tanks less than 12.5m in diameter, especially those designed
    with dome and membrane roofs.
    • If roof has no frangible joint fit over pressure vents/emergency vents
    • Single deck floating roof design conditions: Centre deck carry 250mmdepth of rainfall (24hr period), drains closed
    2 adjacent pontoons & centre deck do not contribute to buoyancy
    Landing legs: 1.2kN/m2 + dead weight of roof

    Floor Notes
    • Annular ring welds (radial butt welds) are more resistant to cycle fatigue

    Shell Notes
    • Vertical welds are strongest
    • Circumferential Stress’ are higher
    • Axial stress is 50% of hoop stress
    • Elongation of tank shell when filled to maximum height is radius/1000
    • Number of Vertical scans: D<20 = 4
    20≤ D <36 = 8
    D≥36 = No more than 15m apart. D x Pi
    15
    Venting/Pressures Notes
    • 1Mbar = 100 N/M2
    • 42-gallon barrels = 1 Barrel (159 litres)
    • 10mm water gauge = 1mBar
    • Anything over 852mBar is a pressure vessel
    • Atmospheric Tank (also known as Non-pressure or free venting) has a pressure/vacuum of +7.5/-2.5 mBar
    • 2 Types of Evaporation loss are Breathing Loss & Filling Loss
    • Low flash point-High Evaporation = PV Vent
    • High flash point-Low Evaporation = Free Vent

    Bund/Foundations/Jacking Notes
    • Top soil compacts 30-60% in the first 10,000 days of operation
    • Top soil compacts 30-60% during hydro test
    • 100mm is the height use in sequential jacking
    • Optimum width for tank shoulder pad is D< 15m: 1m
    D> 15m: 1.5m
    • Maximum distance between tank anchors is 3m
    • Once a tank has been moved/jacked: Vac box all bottom welds, MPI internal shell to annular weld & Hydro test
    • Elephants foot is caused by seismic activity (see page 110)
    Settlement Types
    • Even/Uniform
    • Uneven/Radial/Circumferential
    • Edge
    • Differential
    • Centre Dishing (sagging)

    • Foundation types page 59 of EEMUA 159

    Misc. Notes
    • Yield strength = Point where deformation starts (forbidden to bypass yet won’t break at this point)
    • Tensile strength= Point where material will break (happens AFTER yield strength)
    • Maximum allowable stress is 0.8 (80%) of the yield strength
    • When temperature rises above 150°c yield strength drops
    • 475°c or above is the point carbon steel loses strength
    • If you have high winds it is recommended that you fill the tank (Tanks are designed to withstand a wind speed of 45 m/s)
    • 10mm thick steel 1m2 = 78.5kg
    • 1Bar = 14.5 PSI
    • 10m of water = 1Bar
    • LOADMAT = Lowest One Day Mean Ambient Temperature (Test at 10°c above regional LOADMAT)

    Codes/Standards
    • B.S. 2654 (UK & Ireland)
    • A.P.I 650 & API 620 (America)
    • EN14015-1(EU)
    • DIN 4779, DIN 4119-1, DIN 4119-2 (Germany)
    • CORDES (France)
    • G0801 (Dutch)

    Repairs (Shell)
    • Thickness of patch plate no can be no thicker than parent plate
    • When carrying out repairs, weld vertical welds first
    • If corrosion exceeds 100mm2 - Insert Plate
    • If corrosion exceeds 25% of nominal – Patch Plate
    • If corrosion is outside the HAZ and is less than 25% of nominal – Weld repair (weld then to be ground flush)
    Live Load Calculations
    • Plate Volume Calculation (V)

    Thickness x Area = V
    1000

    • Plate Density Calculation (G)

    V x 7850 = G

    • Unit Live Load

    G x 9.81
    2 x  x (R x1000) R=Radius

    • Wind Girder Density

    (∅ x ) x W W=Wind Girder Weight

    • Total Q (q)

    Total Q is the sum of ALL Live loads

    • Appearing Stress

    q Q
    Thickness of Course Below

    • Allowable Stress

    12411 x Thickness of Course Below


    R x1000

    Note: Thickness = Tmin as per EEMUA not ‘As Built’

    • Unity Check

    Allowable Stress
    Appearing Stress

    Note: If Appearing is higher than Allowable then tank has failed
