frame is satisfactory for vertical stiffening
using a minimum plate thickness of 4.57 mm calculated for side plates above,
the maximum spacing of bottom plate supports:

This Stress value is < S ( 117.9E+06 N/m2)
therefore required thickness for side plates is adequate
Selected thickness = 8 mm

7 WEIGHT CALCULATIONS
b Weight of Stiffeners
Weight of one vertical stiffener
(CSA*Length*density of stiffener) = 84.78 kg
Total Weight of vertical Stiffeners = 847.8 kg
c Weights of nozzles
7 Nos. 2" nozzles @ 3.63 kg/Nozzle = 25.41 kg
2 Nos. 4" nozzles @ 9.53 kg/Nozzle = 19.06 kg
2 Nos. 24" Manways @ 140.61 kg/MW = 281.22 kg
e. Operating Weight
(Empty weight of tank + Weight of water at NLL)
NLL = 1.06 m
Weight of water at NLL = 13356 kg/m3
Total Operating Weight = 19098.818
