SHELL DESIGN :
As per clause 5.6.3.2,
The minimum thickness of shell plates shall be
td = [(4.9 * D * (H-0.3) * G)/ Sd ] + C.A.
tt = (4.9 * D * (H-0.3) )/ St
Where,
td = design shell thickness, in mm
tt = hydrostatic test shell thickness, in mm
D = Nominal tank diameter, in m = 18.014 m (Inside Tank Dia. + First Shell Course Thk.)
H = design liquid level, in m
= height from the bottom of course under consideration to the top of the shell including the top angle.
G = Design specific gravity of the liquid to be stored, as specified by the purchaser
C.A. = Corrosion Allowance, in mm
Sd = Allowable stress for the design condition, in MPa
St = Allowable stress for the hydrostatic test condition, in MPa
