Introduction

This program allows user optimizes Storage tanks data for storage of hydrocarbons(oil) or others liquids, with
diameter from 5-7 m and higher, specially for large diameters. Programs checks most data calculation from API 650
ver. 2007including updates to 1.2.2012 and EN 14015 standards.

2.

Purpose

Program allows easy to model storage tank in the model, and at the same time calculate quickly the main data as
plate wall thicknesses, static characteristic of vessel, check Tank against wind overturning stability, calculate
stiffening rings, check seismic stability, calculate data as: weight dry, weight with medium, summary of welds, RTG
X-rays. The designer can optimize Tank data on the base of variability to change: diameter, height, critical height,
various materials, manufactured length of plates, and all process of calculation takes time few seconds. Before using,
please read fort limitation of the program.

Note.2. Critical level is calculated from nom volume added in Main Form[1] and diameter, and is increased about volume of sloped
bottom (1:120) and volume of sink of floating roof shell) (if) and 200mm extra. Tank height is + delta height + max construction of
folating roof if is chosen. Critical level can be slightly degrased to whole value e.g. 12263 was degreased to 12190mm for
calculation, then operating and max volumes and levels were recalculated back.
How to set various or same materials, and various manufactured plates.
If the tank must be all designed from 1(Basic) material 11 503.1 1 (Rm = 490 Re = 345 Sd = 196 St = 210 Kcv = 1503) turn off
button other material to off, and choose same material in option Set mat. From Tmin. Watch option A.
Program deactivated plates and material with option Other, and set Nr. To 1 means from 1 to last plate.
In the case, designer wants to combine main Basic material with Other (using of manufactured plates 2080mm(height) x 7980mm
length) with mat. E.g. 11503.1 (11503.1 Rm = 490 Re = 345 Sd = 196 St = 210 Kcv = 1503), and from plates 1,2 and 5,6, write
plates position (from the bottom) as 1,2,5,6. Program automatically find missing Nr.3,4 and will calculated shell from nr. 7 to top with
set material - 11418.1 (Rm = 400 Re = 255 Sd = 160 St = 171 Kcv = 1418), plates 2480mm x 7980mm with weakness Re, Rm,. Sd,
St Kcv. Other Material of Plates option must be turned ON, and automatically will be set CYAN background colour for text. Program
checks (EN,API) if is thL lower course not thicker then thU upper course
In the case is set different material Set mat. From Tmin thickness, program calculates wall thickness for every ring, and
compares to API (same as EU standards), and final thickness is used minimum allowed Tmin(see Note3). For instance, programs
calculates 4mm without corrosion and 5 with corrosion, so th min = max(4,5) for diameter 78m, but for this diameter must be used
min thickness 10 mm. So program will add to this thickness mat 11 375.1 (cheapest) -> 11375.1 (Rm = 363 MPa Re = 235 MPa Sd
= 145 MPa St = 156 MPa Kcv = 1375), and calculation is repeated to not exceed Tmin. Shown in Option B.
Note3 For explanation, until th min calculated thickness is not smaller then Tmin depending from API 650/EN/GOST and diameter of
tank, still is used Basic or Other material, so when is Thmin = 10mm as result of higher thickness for
design(+allowance)/hydrotest conditions, still will be used mat 11418.1. If program calculates that th is thinner then Tmin for basic or
Other material, will test if th is thinner than Tmin too, if not, returns back th for Basic or Other material. For EN will be done
calculation acc point 9.2.3 in the calculation will be reduced H(liquid level) for 0.3 m. Then is checked with Tmin.
The program was tested for condition from API see K.2 Variable-Design-Point Example #2, file H101T-vm in subdirectory
/directories/Tank/Data, (for directories see chapter 5. Installation)
Notes:
When is pressed button Calculated Tank Shell Weight + wall thicknesses after successful calculation procedure, Orange colour
of this button will be changed to default. Any updating data in the form, changes colour back to Orange.
Same logic is used for all further forms. All buttons/text gadgets in all forms have tooltip explanation.
If during of testing you want to see outputs calculated data in the command line, turn ON in main form button Test Tank
Parameters.
Calculation of tank data(and safety tank) depends from the Critical Level (as result of storage volume, diameter of tank(safety tank)
and its height. The overall height of tank or safety tank is controlled by chosen height of plates, and controlled by API 650 last
one ring of plates, which can not be less as 1830mm.
Typical output (acc sample from API and sample K.2 Variable-Design-Point Example #2 transformed to mm) mat Sd 28.000(193.1Mpa) and St 30.000(206.8 Mpa) and Sd

Main Safety Tank Form[3]

The form is similar as Main Tank form[2]just with additional distance between bottoms, which has an influence for calculation of
critical level inside of Safety Tank leaked out from the Main Tank. This value (concrete foundation, or double vacuum plate) +
volume of shell tank sank into medium + slope of bottoms will rise Critical level against simple calculation of clear Safety Tank
volume sometimes more than 1 m

Critical level
Distance between bottoms
of Tank and Safety Tank

Form for roof(s)[4]

Program does not calculate for size profiles etcsimply can help to predict total weight for further calculation (wind overloading
stability ..as attached part to tank shell, same as stiffening rings, stairs etc), and summary of the welds. In the case of using
floating roof(with cassettes) the weight has impact for max critical level, because if sink in the medium is from 85-120mm min.) Up to
now the conic or spherical roof is really only basically done as Fixed roof.
The data are set immediately when the Main form [2] is called, or changed diameter, density in form [1]. User can adjust in this form
type of roof, Min Max height of roof, parameters of fixed chosen roof, dimensions of plates.
The fixed roof the construction is just roughly guessed, so user can rewrite new weight important for a next calculations with
special influence of structural weight(as difference between total weight and plate roof weight) and only roof plate weight to seismic
stability.

Stiffening(Bracing) rings[6]

Notes:
1. Is used corroded thickness of shell for calculation of Top Wind Girder and stiffening Girders.
2. In this application, I think will latter provide button which can run calculation according separate chosen Standard(user maybe
wants Shell calculation acc API, but Stiffening rings acc EN)
3. In calculation equations of J-kvad modules are up to know used only 1x used 16 x th proportion of the shell tank, what can be
increased for 2x , it means above and bellow profile welded to shell tank(If applicable). That means J-kvad modules are little bit
stronger. Watch attached calculation report with values.

!!!!Tank is not stable and cannot be se1f-anchored for the design load. Modify:
1. the annular ring if L < 0.035D is not controlling or add mech. anchorage - L should not exceed 3.5%D or if Annulus did not used, Use them!
2. Increase the thickness of the bottom/annular plates under shell ta = 6 - do not exceed ts = 10 of bottom shell course
3. Increase the shell thickness ts = 10
4. Change the proportion of TANK increase diameter and reduce height
5. Anchor the TANK

Limitation

Program works with mm units. Up to now works only for Tanks with material carbon steel, (ss, aluminium is not yet included, tanks
with internal pressure(even this is limited to min pressure). Program calculates for roofs only guessed weight, but specially for
cassette floating roofs, the weight is really precisely calculated.
I did not include checking of Material Rm, Re acc various Standards, sorting to the various groups acc temperatures & conditions,
program only checks if Sd or St is not higher then allowed calculation yield (e.g. 260 MPa acc En 14105.). It is up to designer which
material wants to use, which welding material etc. Up to know is not included checking of min thickness acc type of material, only
max or min allowed thickness is checked by program, it is recommended to check if maximum calculated thickness is allowed for the
chosen material(manufactured), acc group of material/conditions/max allowed thickness (see kcv etc..) . Programs is done for simple
calculation of parameters described above.
Other things are part of detail engineering, when is calculated seismic stability, wind stability etc
Because program PDMS uses mm as standard, I modified all calculation equations for using of mm, to get proper results.what is
always shown in the reports.
As well in later version program I plan to add standard GOST, so user can choose acc which standard wants to calculate Tank and
m model in design.
Up to now is not included calculation for higher then 100 Degrees C, for this must be compared Young module at working
temperature and for temperature in normal weather conditions(e.g. for calculation of stiffening rings).
Up to now when is chosen Standard for calculation, all applications follow this Standard, but maybe for some specific reasons I can
changed philosophy and run e.g. only Stiffening rings calculation acc API, even Tank thickness plates were calculated acc EN

Installation

to pmllib directory eg:

c:\xxx\yyy\pmllib\...\Tank
where Tank is directory where will be stored all above mentioned files.
Then is necessary to write:
Before 1th using:
pml rehash all
show !!rvatankform()
For calling of program is necessary write :
Show !!rvatankform

6.

Future

For the future, I plan to add calculation checking of shell for tanks with internal pressure for, for small tanks, or tanks from SS.
Latest version of API can be incorporated after sending me a pdf version or link to website, where I can compare changes against
used API version (February 2012)
