| Tri Tank 650 |
|
Designs or re-rates cylindrical tanks with sloped or flat-bottoms in accordance with API 650 standard. Wind and seismic loads can be applied in the re-rating or design modes and the allowable criteria of several different wind and seismic standards can be applied.
Applications
- Provides technical compliance and documentation for regulatory authorities.
- Designs new tanks and rerates existing tanks.
- Calculates shell plate thickness and weights
The Advantages & Benefits
- Saves time and cost in meeting technical compliance and documentation for regulatory authorities.
- The reliability of design calculations is greatly improved.
- Assists in standardization of the design process and procedures through the use of a proven engineered template approach to the design process.
- Decreases the amount of time required for tank design by adding "what-if" design and re-rating capability.
- Enhances productivity by evaluating alternative tank designs prior to fabrication.
