Practice Problem<br />

A 190' diameter tank has a pit that measures 5/16" deep in the first course,<br />

what is the min t, if the fill is 42 feet and the specific gravity is 0.6? (The pit is<br />

not in a weld seam or HAZ.) The material is unknown.<br />

S = Table 4-1<br />

E = Original joint efficiency for the tank. Use Table 4-2 if original E is unknown.<br />

E = 1.0 when evaluating the retirement thickness in a corroded plate, when<br />

away from welds or joints by at least the greater of one inch or twice the plate<br />

thickness.<br />

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

= 2.6(41)190x 0.6/ (23600) = 0.515”<br />
