    WELDED TANKS FOR OIL STORAGE 5-15

    5.5 Annular Bottom Plates

    5.5.1 When the bottom shell course is designed using the allowable stress for materials in Group IV, IVA, V, or VI,
    butt-welded annular bottom plates shall be used (see 5.1.5.6). When the bottom shell course is of a material in Group
    IV, IVA, V, or VI and the maximum product stress (see 5.6.2.1) for the first shell course is less than or equal to 160
    MPa (23,200 lbf/in.2) or the maximum hydrostatic test stress (see 5.6.2.2) for the first shell course is less than or
    equal to 171 MPa (24,900 lbf/in.2), lap-welded bottom plates (see 5.1.5.4) may be used in lieu of butt-welded annular
    bottom plates.

    5.5.2 Annular bottom plates shall have a radial width that provides at least 600 mm (24 in.) between the inside of the
    shell and any lap-welded joint in the remainder of the bottom. Annular bottom plate projection outside the shell shall
    meet the requirements of 5.4.2. A greater radial width of annular plate is required when calculated as follows:

    In SI units:

    215 t b
    -----------------
    -
    0.5
    HG

    where

    tb is the thickness of the annular plate (see 5.5.3), in mm;

    H is the maximum design liquid level (see 5.6.3.2), in m;

    G is the design specific gravity of the liquid to be stored.

    In USC units:

    390 t b
    -----------------
    -
    0.5
    HG

    where

    tb is the thickness of the annular plate (see 5.5.3), in inches;

    H is the maximum design liquid level (see 5.6.3.2), in feet;

    G is the design specific gravity of the liquid to be stored.

    5.5.3 The thickness of the annular bottom plates shall not be less than the greater thickness determined using Table
    5.1a and Table 5.1b for product design (plus any specified corrosion allowance) or for hydrostatic test design. Table
    5.1a and Table 5.1b are applicable for effective product height of H G 23 m (75 ft). Beyond this height an elastic
    analysis must be made to determine the annular plate thickness.

    5.5.4 The ring of annular plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but may have a regular polygonal
    shape inside the tank shell, with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be
    welded in accordance with 5.1.5.6 and 5.1.5.7, Item b.

    5.5.5 In lieu of annular plates, the entire bottom may be butt-welded provided that the requirements for annular plate
    thickness, welding, materials, and inspection are met for the annular distance specified in 5.5.2.
