CLEAN OUT DOOR BOTTOM REINF PLATE

(blue cells input)

ht of opening h = 915 mm
width of opening b = 1219 mm
Liquid level H = 10 m
Sp gravity G = 1
Corr allow. CA = 3 mm

Reinf plate thickness = 28.00 mm

[tb=( h /360000)+ (b/170) *SQRT (HG) + CA]
2

Min. thickness as per table 5.10 a , API 650

(add corrosion allowance) = 28 mm

Hence the reqd thickness = 28.00 mm

(larger of F14 & F19)

COD Reinforcement plate above opening, available area

Thk of reinf plate tr = 14 mm

Provided shell thk t = 12 mm
Required shell thk td = 10.85 mm
Height of reinf pad L = 1372 mm
COD height h = 915 mm

Available reinf area above opening = 6923.55 mm2

[(tr+ (t-td))*(L-h)]

Required area of reinforcement

Liquid level , H = 10 m
Diameter of tank, D = 26.01 m
Height of opening, h = 915 mm
Required thickness of shell , t = 10.85 mm

Vertical axis 0.452018

Corresponding K1 from figure = 1.38

Required area (K1*h*t/2) = 6850.148 mm2

Available area is more, hence safe
