Thanks HTURKAK. You are correct. Its is a potable water cylindrical tank with Dia of 30 m. The inlet pipe tank centerline is 1.5m from tank top. The connection is flanged. The outlet is 1 m dia from tank bottom. There is no drop pipe for the inlet connection.
We have an over the top fill pipe with dia size of 1 m to a water storage tank without a internal drop pipe. The hight of the water drop is 17 m. Is there a requirement to increase the thickness of bottom plate considering there will be no drop pipe to the tank bottom? What consideration should...
