Case Studies of Design of Double-Walled Coaxial Cylindrical Oil Storage Tanks

Abstract

Compartmented cylindrical oil storage tanks have attracted much attention in Japan because of diversified production of oil products in petrochemical industry. The double-walled coaxial cylindrical tank is one type of compartmented tanks. This paper describes the case studies of design of the double-walled coaxial cylindrical tanks. The actual design could be simplified using some tables shown in this paper, which lead to decision of main members of the tank.
