Tank Stress Records

Tank Stress records are used in the Tank Stress reference table, which is used to determine the Allowable Stress value for RBI Criticality Analyses linked to storage tank components (i.e., RBI Components whose Stress Lookup Table field contains the value Tank). This topic provides a list and description of the fields that exist in the Tank Stress family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Allowable Stress	Numeric	The maximum amount of pressure that the component can withstand.	The value in this field is calculated using values in the following fields: Stress Lookup Table Construction Code Code Year Material Spec Material Grade Course Number Tensile Strength Yield Strength The value in this field is used to populate the Allowable Stress field in the associated RBI Criticality Analysis.
Code Year	Character	The year in which the design code that corresponds to the component was defined.	The value in this field is used to: Determine the value in the Allowable Stress field. Filter the list of values in the Material Specification field. Populate the Code Year field in the associated RBI Criticality Analysis.
Design Code	Character	The design code associated with the component.	The value in this field is used to: Determine the value in the Allowable Stress field. Populate the Construction Code field in the associated RBI Criticality Analysis.
Material Grade	Character	The material grade of the component.	The value in this field is used to: Determine the value in the Allowable Stress field. Populate the Material Grade field in the associated RBI Criticality Analysis.
Material Specification	Character	The material specification of the component.	The value in this field is used to: Determine the value in the Allowable Stress field. Filter the list of values in the Material Grade field. Populate the Material Spec field in the associated RBI Criticality Analysis.
Minimum Tensile Strength	Numeric	The minimum tensile strength of the material of the component.	None
Minimum Yield Strength	Numeric	The minimum yield strength of the material of the component.	None
