Kingston,Mi | First is this a vertical or a horizontal tank? You said aluminum, so I think immediately of a "bullet" tank or a horizontal tank on concrete stands. If it is horizontal and is not going on new concrete stands, we have seen them laid on railroad ties on a re-inforced concrete floor. If it is a vertical tank and is 10 ft. in diameter then it would be approximately 20 ft. tall., 20 cubic ft. of product at 11 pounds per gallon x 7.48 gallon per cubic ft. =1645.6 pounds per square ft. or 11.42 pounds per square inch.
I have designed and supervised the installation of 30,000 gallon tanks vertical tanks ( 36 ft. tall) 36cubic ft. x 11 pounds per gallon x 7.48 gallons cubic ft.= 2962.08 pounds per square ft. or 20.57 pounds per square inch. These tanks went on to 6 inch re-inforced concrete. | |
