TRI*TANK650(tm) designs or re-rates cylindrical tanks with sloped or flat bottoms in accordance with API 650 Standard, ¡¯Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage¡¯, 8th, 9th or 10th editions. 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 re-rates existing tanks
- Calculates shell plate thickness and weights

Advantages

- Saves time and costs 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

Output

- Shows API equations with variable defined and substituted for engineering verification
- A summary page for each major set of calculations is presented showing calculated values of shell design, wind loads, etc.
- Find feature allows the user to go to desired location(s)
- All Output reports can be browsed, printed and exported to HTML or TXT files
