good morning ;
i am making design for storage Tank with Service Temperature 130° and Design 150° , with Tank software , and calculation note with the minimun required of thikness for shell ,bottom and roof .

But the client asks me to do an additional thermal analysis to check the tank under temperature change from ambient 20° to 130° service during filling phase and during service under the heating coil installed on the bottom to maintain the 130 ° .

is there anyone can help me with a solution or a method of thermal verification of the thicknesses and resistance of the tank


Best Regards

Hello taoufikessouda,

I am not sure that this is the complete solution, but in the 2017 version of TANK, there is a revised analysis for API 2000 which may address part of the problem.
