The invention relates to storage tanks for petroleum products and other liquids and can be used in oil refining, chemical industry and other sectors of the economy.

The famous design of the horizontal tank on saddle supports, comprising a cylindrical shell, heads, saddle supports (GOST 17032-2010 "steel horizontal Tanks for petroleum products. Technical terms.").

A disadvantage of the known horizontal tank on saddle supports is that it does not establish the optimal installation location on saddle supports from the edge of the cylindrical shell to the axis of the saddle supports.

The aim of the invention is to obtain the optimal range of distances from the edge of the cylindrical shell horizontal tank on saddle supports to the axis of the saddle supports.

The objective is achieved due to the fact that in the known horizontal tank on saddle supports, comprising a cylindrical shell, heads, saddle supports, the ratio of the distance from the edge of the cylindrical shell to the axis saddle supports to the length of the cylindrical shell is K multiplied by the volume of the tank in degree N, and K varies from 0.37 to 0.42, and N varies from 0.12 to 0.15.

Horizontal tank on saddle supports schematically shown n the figure 1.

The maximum bending stresses occur over supports or between the supports depending on the distance between the axis of the saddle supports 3 and the edge of the cylindrical shell 1. Values of bending moments in a cylindrical shell defined by the dependencies given in GOST R-2007 "Vessels and apparatus. Norms and methods of strength calculation. The calculation of the shells and heads from the impact of supporting loads".

An example of a change of the bending moment over the saddle support M1and between the saddle supports M12for shells with a diameter of 3,200 m, length 12.0 m, 100 m3the distance between the edge of the cylindrical shell and the axle saddle supports e is shown in figure 2.

In this example, the intersection of the graphs gives the optimum value of the distance between the edge of the cylindrical shell and the axle saddle supports e=2,7 m

Figure 3 presents the graphical dependence of the ratio of calculated optimal values of the distance from the edge of the cylindrical shell to the axis of the saddle support e to the length of the body L of the volume of the tank Vp. Considered standardized horizontal tanks 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 m3.

The curve presented in figure 3, can be approximated by the equation:

e L = K V p N ( 1 )

When changing K in the range from 0.37 to 0.42, and N from 0.12 to 0.15 deviation of calculated values from equation (1) from the optimal relations e/L shall not exceed 15%.

The proposed expressions for positioning saddle supports are optimal and allow for minimal bending moment in the horizontal shell of the tank and, as a consequence, the minimum calculated wall thickness of the cylindrical shell.

Horizontal tank on saddle supports, comprising a cylindrical shell, heads, saddle supports, characterized in that the ratio of the distance between the edge of the cylindrical shell and the axle saddle supports to the length of the cylindrical shell is K multiplied by the volume of the tank in degree N, and K varies from 0.37 to 0.42, and N varies from 0.12 to 0.15.
