Calculation of buried horizontal storage tanks
Thread Content
Has anyone ever worked on horizontal buried storage tanks? Without a saddle, it is simply placed underground in a groove – what is the basis for calculating the capacity of such a tank? Are there any guidelines in this regard? Thank you all

You can take a look at Li Shiyu’s training materials; it’s included there.
Without supports, how do you fix it?
LPG buried cartridge tanks – there is a British standard, EEMUA190
Many of them have no supports; they are simply fixed using clamps, in a manner similar to how U-bolts are used to secure pipes. Prevent the buried tank from floating.
