1. Introduction
This document has been prepared to achieve the following objectives:

 To do FEA stress analysis of Spherical tank 2500 MT for.

It is intended to provide a summary of the FEA stress analysis including the methodology used, and the
results obtained from the analysis.

The pipe stress analysis was undertaken using STAAD Pro V8i software

Refer to Appendix C for stress analysis results output from STAAD.

2. Model Descriptions
2.1 Model scope and boundaries

The scope of the project is to find the maximum stress at Spherical tank, refer to GA drawing on the
Appendix B.

2.2 Design Basis

The following information has been received from Client and used as the basis for the analysis:

3. Description of Analysis
3.1 Software

The stress analysis was performed using STAAD Pro software to establish compliance with ASME Section
VIII Div. 2

3.2 Load Cases

The combined load cases are shown below

Case 1 = D

Case 2 = DP -> Internal pressure

Case 3 = D + DP + T -> Design condition

Case 4 = D + 0.75(DP+T) + 0.75(E) -> Seismic condition

Case 5 = D + 0.75(DP+T) + 0.75(W) -> Wind condition

Case 6 = Dt -> Hydrotest

Where:

Dead Load (D) is the weight of the sphere tank including contents weight

Pressure load (DP) is the design pressure

Thermal Load (T) are those caused by the restraint of thermal expansion applied.

Test Load (Dt) is the hydrostatic test conditions including the weight of the test fluid.

Wind Load(W) is Wind load

Seismic Load(E) is Seismic load

Load combinations are applied in accordance with ASCE 7-10.

5. STRESS ANALYSIS RESULT

5.1 Criteria

Stress result from the analysis will be compared with design criteria based on ASME Sec. VIII Div. 2 Part 5

Design criteria is:

- General Primary Membrane Equivalent Stress (Pm) ≤ S

- Local Primary Membrane Equivalent Stress (PL) ≤ SPL

- Local Primary Membrane plus Bending Equivalent Stress (PL+Pb)≤ SPL

- Primary Membrane plus Primary Bending plus Secondary Equivalent Stress(PL+Pb+Q) ≤ SPS

Where :

S = Allowable stress based on the material of construction and design temperature. (Design Condition)

S = Sy (Yield Strength) × 0.95 (Hydrotest)

SPL = Allowable limit on the local primary membrane and local primary membrane plus Bending stress
categories.(Max 1.5S)

SPS = Allowable limit on the primary plus secondary stress range. (Max (3S)
