Page 1 of 14Rectangular tank sizing CalculationObjectives- To calculate the thickness of tank plates- To determine the size of stiffening frame for tank- To determine dry and test weights
Assumptions- Specific gravity of liquid is 1- Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s- Density of steel is 7850 kg/m- Minimum Distance between stiffeners = 1.05m

Notes1 A total of 10 Stiffeners were used based on a spacing of 1.05 m on the longsides (3 stiffeners on each longer side; and 2 stiffeners on each shorter side)2 Sump Pump weight was not included in calculations3 Weights are calculated weights. Final weights to be advised by vendorWeight calulation does not include weir.Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s
