Sample problem for minimum thickness of a welded tank shell.<br />

An inspection of a welded, 138 foot diameter tank, 50 feet tall, 48 feet fill<br />

height shows some scattered pitting in the first course. What is the minimum<br />

shell thickness required for this tank, if the specific gravity of the product is<br />

0.9?<br />

t min = 2.6 (H-1) DG/SE<br />

= 2.6(47)138x 0.9/ 23600<br />

= 0.643”<br />
