... in the case of elevated temperature tanks. The fill/draw down cycle of the stored liquid causes low cycle fatigue near this joint and hence a fatigue evaluation is recommended. The peak alternating stress at this location, used to enter the fatigue curves is currently determined using a pseudo-elastic...

... 17, 2014; published online April 3, 2014. Assoc. Editor: David L. Rudland. 11 07 2013 17 01 2014 Four types of TA2 welded tube-to-tubesheet joints prepared by manual tungsten arc argon-shielded welding technique are studied in this paper. The pull-out tests and low cycle fatigue...

...) in the tank wall and bottom plate. A factor named “ C ” is used for defining the ratio of actual expansion against free expansion of the tank. Such partial expansion causes significant thermal stresses. API uses these stresses to estimate the low cycle fatigue life of the tanks. At present, a range of C...
