    Hydorstatic Test Height

    This document provides formulas and instructions for determining the hydrostatic height (Ht) for testing a tank. Ht is limited to the lesser value calculated using two methods. The first method calculates Ht as 40.72845 feet based on material properties and tank diameter. The second method calculates Ht as 39.72845 feet based on the minimum thickness allowed for a locally thinned shell area. Notes provide additional details on how Ht relates to the maximum liquid level and repair requirements.

    Determining Hydrostatic Height

    If the tank will be hydrostatically tested, the hydrostatic test height, Ht, shall be limited by one or more of the
    following methods. The tank shall not be filled above the level determined by the lesser value of Ht determined below.

    Input
    St= 24863.8194 lbf/in.2
    tmin= 0.0622 in (As per the calculation)
    E= 0.85
    D= 12.7263 ft

    After determining the controlling thickness of an entire shell course, Ht calculated as follows:

    Formula-1

    Ht = 40.72845

    After determining the controlling thickness by 4.3.2.1 for a locally thinned area, or at any other location of interest
    within a shell course, Ht is calculated as follows

    Formula-2

    Ht = 39.72845

    Ht is the height from the bottom of the shell course under consideration to the hydrostatic test height when
    evaluating an entire shell course in feet
    (or)
    is the height from the bottom of the length, L, (see 4.3.2.1) for the most severely thinned area in each shell
    course to the hydrostatic test height in feet;
    (or)
    is the height from the lowest point within any other location of interest to the hydrostatic test height in feet

    St is the maximum allowable hydrostatic test stress in pound force per square inch (lbf/in.2); use the smaller of
    0.88Y or 0.472T for bottom and second courses; use the smaller of 0.9Y or 0.519T for all other courses

    tmin is the minimum acceptable thickness, in inches for each course as calculated from the above equation;
    however, tmin shall not be less than 0.1 in. for any tank course

    D is the nominal diameter of tank, in feet (ft);

    Note-1 Depending on the specific gravity of the content used to determine tmin, Ht may be less than H. Testing the tan
    may yield the corroded area.
    Note-2 If Ht is less than H, owner/operator shall determine the consequence and acceptability of operating the tank to
    maximum design liquid level. Repairs to shell sections above Ht shall comply with the requirements of 12.3.2.
    Note-3 For reconstructed tanks, St shall be per the current applicable standard.

    H is the height from the bottom of the shell course under consideration to the maximum liquid level when
    evaluating an entire shell course, in feet (ft);
    (or)
    is the height from the bottom of the length L (see 4.3.2.1) from the lowest point of the bottom of L of the
    locally thinned area to the maximum liquid level, in feet (ft);
    (or)
    is the height from the lowest point within any location of interest to the maximum liquid level, in feet (ft);

    H 44.265 ft (As per the calculation)
