Hello,
I have a pressure vessel design calculation ready and approuved, I would like a software with library especially for nozzel and pipes and flanges to assist me in drawing these pressure vessels and extract detailed plans,i used solidworks but it taks forever, any suggestions on software...
According to the visual inspection showing the corrosion state of the floating roof and the diesel spills on it, the client has decided to remove it,
Where may i find the calculation to prove the necessity of a IFR aling with the fixed dome roof ?

That explains a great deal for the case i am encountering, the informations that you have provided have been very helpfull,
I shall post the results as soon as we elaborate them on site,

HTURKAK,
could you give a reference from API standart which explains the specifications for the design of storage tanks with dwarf walls foundation and backing strips, because now I have two different tanks ... each with its own bottom & foundation design
Kind regards
Dear Dhurjati Sen,
The solution you have suggested is very effective ... as it is expensive, As HTURKAK, have mentioned the bottom plates have already been subjected to bending stress due to phosphoric acid weight wich is indeed with specific gravity of 1.6 ...1.7 (good guess by the way)
I...
Dear HTURKAK,
I would like to apologize for not responding, it was due to a familiy emergengy ( death of a sibiling),
You have mentionned in your comment the other tank, actually there is no such failure in that tank bottom and this can be explained by the fact that backing strips axis is...
