Subject :- Sample thickness calculation of FRP Tank

Dear Sir,

Please find below sample thickness calculation of FRP Tank.

Tank size : Dia 2100 mm x 2300 mm

Calculation :

Assuming maximum (T) thickness: 10 mm

For getting the above thickness combination of FRP laminates as follows

300GSM CSM 2 nos : 300 x 2 = 0.6 Kg/m2

450GSM CSM 4 nos : 450 x 4 = 1.8 Kg/m2
600GSM WR 3 nos : 600 x 3 = 1.8 Kg/m2

Total Glass mass for 10 mm of FRP laminate = 4.2 Kg/m2 . Percentage of Glass approximate 40%

Formula : Xlam = X1 n1 + X2 n2 Xlam = Overall unit modulus in N/mm

= 16000 x 3 + 14000 x 6 X1 = Unit modulus of WR (Woven Roving)
= 48000 + 84000 X2 = Unit modulus of CSM (Chopped strand Mat)
= 132000 N/mm n1&n2 = Number of Layers

D = Internal Diameter = 2100 mm .

Do = Outer diameter = ( D + 2T ) = 2120 mm
0.40
To find Tmin =Do ( 0.4p F x L ) P = Total effective pressure in N/mm2
------- ---- F = Factor of safety
(Xlam x Do ) L = Height of Shell
-2
2120 ( 0.4 x 5x10 x 4 x 2300 )
------------------ --------
( 13200 x 2120 )

= 7.13 mm
