Tank Loading Data Explanation
OBJECTIVE
To understand the different factors
affecting tank loading
To learn the basic philosophy in analyzing
the different loadings in the tank

Bottom Plate
Total Weight
WT = Total weight, (Ton)
= Empty wt. w/o insulation, WE +
Insulation wt. + Liquid operating wt.

FWR
FWs
Note:
a) FWR or FWS is the wind horizontal force
w/c is the wind pressure at a certain height
multiply by the projected area normal to
wind.
b) FW varies depending on the project
(i.e. constant wind pressure or varying wind
pressure)
FW = FWR + FWS
