20、l, Thin Wall, Trailer Truck Tanks ABSTRACT Buckling of cylindrical pressure vessels under axial compression and bending is normally evaluated using the axial compression stress evaluation design methods in ASME Section VIII, Division 1. In 1998 the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committee appr

21、oved Code Case 2286, which introduced more comprehensive methods for determining allowable compressive stresses for cylinders, cones, spheres and formed heads due to external pressure, axial compression and bending. Section XII confirmed a need to develop similar such rules specific to the design of

22、 cylindrical, thin wall, trailer truck tanks. As first steps in the development of such rules, a full-scale tank buckling test was carried out, and the results of that were used to develop recommended design rules for consideration by Section XII. The results of this testing are summarized in this r

23、eport. In addition, Section XII design rule proposals have been outlined and are also summarized in this report. These proposals are based on the test results, past experience with transport tanks and the design methods of Code Case 2286-2, and are presented for consideration by Standards Committee

24、XII. vi Buckling of Cylindrical, Thin Wall, Trailer Truck Tanks STP-PT-032 1 INTRODUCTION New hazmat (hazardous material) and non-hazmat transport tanks will be constructed to the rules of the ASME Code Section XII 1. Long, thin wall, trailer truck tanks are used extensively for over-the-road transp

25、ort. These tanks typically operate with relatively low internal pressures from 25 to 45 psi (172 - 310 kPa) and are constructed with relatively stiff circumferential reinforcing rings at 60 in. (1500 mm) longitudinal spacing. These internal pressures cause positive circumferential stress in the tank

26、 wall. However, the longitudinal stresses addressed in this report are predominately bending and are not due to the internal pressures. Section XII confirmed a need to develop design rules similar to those in Code Case 2286-2 specific to the design for longitudinal bending in cylindrical, thin wall,

27、 trailer truck tanks. As first steps in the development of such rules, a full-scale tank buckling test was carried out, and the results of that were used to develop recommended design rules for consideration by Section XII. The results of that full-scale testing are summarized in this report. In add

28、ition, Section XII design rule proposals have been outlined and are also summarized in this report. These proposals are based on the test results, past experience with transport tanks and the design methods of Code Case 2286-2, and are presented for consideration by Standards Committee XII. 1 STP-PT

29、-032 Buckling of Cylindrical, Thin Wall, Trailer Truck Tanks 2 TEST PROGRAM A full-scale trailer truck tank was tested to evaluate the longitudinal bending loadings that would cause buckling. The tank was specially constructed for this testing by adding a 30 ft. (9144mm) long center section to a sta

30、ndard 40 ft. (12192mm) long cargo tank with the following details: Tank overall length: 70 ft. (21336mm) Tank shell OD: Do= 64 in. (1626mm) Tank shell thickness: t = 0.105 in. (2.7 mm) Material: SA 240, Type 304, SS Fya= 46 ksi (317 MPa), (actual yield strength from material test report). An overall

32、 in this paper. As noted in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the rear axle and the 5th wheel support points were located and shimmed in a manner that minimized the tank end overhang which resulted in simply supported end conditions. This was done to maximize the center point bending moment and simplify the re

33、quired bending stress calculations. As noted, the tank was stiffened by U-shaped circumferential stiffeners made from 12 gage, 304 stainless steel continuously fillet welded to the tank OD (see Figure 2). The spacing of these stiffener rings was approximately 60 in. (1524 mm) on centers and the spac

34、ing at the critical center-span element, was measured to be 60 in. (1524 mm) on centers. 2 Buckling of Cylindrical, Thin Wall, Trailer Truck Tanks STP-PT-032 240” 360” Section 240” 60” 30” 17”793”840” 5thwheel Rear axle 1.63” 3.63” Ring Stiffeners Thk = 0.105” Center of span = Tank circumferential w

39、T PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The tank outlet nozzle (NPS 3) was fitted with a hose connection, shut-off ball valve and a calibrated digital flow meter to monitor the volume of water pumped into the tank for the overload testing. Water was introduced into the tank through the inlet nozzle at a rate of app

40、roximately 140 gal/min (530 L/min). Water flow was stopped at the 3,000 gal (11,360 L), 6,000 gal (22,710 L) and 8,000 gal (30,280 L) levels to allow for the manual measurements of deflection and observations of the tank geometries. The tank buckled non-symmetrically as shown in Figure 5 at a flow m

41、eter reading of 8,094 gal (30,640 L) but 8,080 gal (30,590 L) is used in the calculations of this paper to account for the 14 gal (53 L) holdup in the hose between the meter and the tank fill nozzle. 158094 GallonsLevel lineFigure 5 - Center Section Buckling of Tank The strain gage data were recorde

45、ck Tanks STP-PT-032 4 ANALYSIS OF TEST RESULTS As noted in Figure 2, there were short lengths of overhang (i.e., 30 in. (762 mm) at the 5th wheel and 17 in. (432 mm) at the rear axle supports) that tended to reduce the maximum bending moment at the center of the test tank. To evaluate the significan

46、ce of this, the bending moment at the center was calculated using the equations for a beam with end overhangs and for a beam without overhangs, both based on the dimensions shown in Figure 2. The results of this comparison are shown in Table 1. Table 3 - Tank Beam Bending Stress Comparison Calculate

47、d item With overhang Without overhang Mmax78,400w 78,606w Location of Mmax measured from the 5thwheel support point 397 in. 396.5 in. Where w = uniformly distributed load in lb/in. Based on this comparison, it was concluded that the test tank bending stresses could be determined by assuming the tank

48、 was a simply supported beam with a 5th wheel to rear axle support span of 793 in. (20,140 mm) and thus disregarding the effects of the relatively short overhangs. In addition to the evaluation of the beam end-point overhang, the tank dimensional changes due to the water weight were also considered.

49、 The hydrostatic head circumferential tension in the tank cylinder and the stresses due to the 1.2 in. parabolic sag (beam deflection) in the tank (see Table 2) for measure due to the water-fill loadings) add about 2 to 3% to the calculated bending stresses. Because of the relatively small magnitude of these stresses, they are not included in the results. This is a conservative assumption when evaluating the results of this testing. Therefore, the following equations (1) and (2
