How to select wall thickness for atmospheric pressure flat-bottom tanks

For a medium: maleic anhydride, volume 200 m3, diameter 5500 mm, material 316L – how is the thickness calculated? I don’t have experience in this area

More intensive company calculations, then rounding. Since the stiffness of structures with a small calculated thickness is insufficient, we often choose to use the minimum wall thickness for calculations. If the diameter D is less than 3800, the wall thickness = 2*D/1000; if the container diameter D is greater than 3800, the wall thickness = D/1000 + 4
