What are the criteria for determining the safe and maximum tank levels for a 100,000 cubic meter crude oil storage tank? I asked a few people involved, but their accounts vary; I would appreciate everyone’s advice
Is the storage capacity of crude oil tanks related to their size? The safe height of a floating roof tank is generally 0.9 times the tank height, with the ultimate height also taking the transfer speed into account.
The tank farm specifications for version 07 provide clear calculation methods, eliminating the previous requirement of 0.9.
In accordance with the provisions of the \"Design Code for Tank Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems\" SH3007-2007, the maximum liquid level for floating-roof tanks storing 100,000 cubic meters of crude oil should be calculated using the following formula； h = h5 – (h3 + h4 + h6), where: h is the maximum liquid level in the storage tank, in meters; h3 is the maximum amount of liquid that can enter the tank within 10–15 minutes, in meters; h4 is the expansion height of the material due to temperature increase, in meters; h5 is the maximum designed height of the floating disk (the bottom surface of the floating disk), in meters; h6 is the safety margin, taken as 0.2 meters
