The Research of Tank Sides Geometrical Forms after their Long-Term Usage in the Oil Transportation System

Abstract

During the technical diagnosis of vertical steel tanks it is necessary to evaluate the influence of geometry imperfection on deflected mode and resource. One of the most significant characteristics of geometry, definable during the full-scale tank diagnosis, is deflections of tank generatrices from the vertical. In the report, the tank geometry research results are represented on the basis of measuring data of 98 oil transporting system tanks
