Sample problem for maximum allowable fill height of a welded tank shell.<br />

What is the hydrostatic test height of a welded tank 112’ diameter, that has a<br />

minimum thickness of .115 inches in the first course? (Shell material unknown)<br />

(E=1).<br />

Ht = SEt/(2.6D) +1 = 26000x .115/(2.6x 112) +1 = 11.26’<br />
