Tank Load Case Details

Below we show the summary of the Load Cases Calculations for Welded tanks. You will find more information on the calculations in the following articles.

Two Compliance Codes are implemented in IMS for the LC1 calculations: The one is based on the API specifications and the other on internal Shell (DEP) specifications. Each calculation is further split up into specific calculations for each part of t...

LC2 calculations takes place on the Equipment . The LC2 calculations (also known as buckling calculation) is to determine the number of wind Girders (a.k.a. stiffeners) required for structural integrity of the tank. Relevant properties are Wind ...

LC3 calculations takes place on the Equipment . This is the Roof calculations that determines a RL based on an effective Roof pressure. There are two relevant calculations done for the LC3: The RL and the compression values. Remnant Life The ca...
