inches wide x 30 inches long, with a glass window in the top. The open bottom is sealed
against the tank surface by a sponge-rubber gasket. Suitable connections, valves, and
gauges should be provided.
Approximately 30 inches of the seam under test is brushed with a soap solution or
linseed oil. The vacuum box is placed over the coated section of the seam, and a vacuum
is applied to the box. Bubbles or foam produced by air sucked through the welded seam
will indicate the presence of porosity in the seam.
A vacuum can be drawn on the box by any convenient method, such as connection
to a gasoline or diesel-motor intake manifold or to an air ejector or special vacuum pump.
Vacuum box tested using a test pressure at least 3 psi gauge or as specified on
Company specification.

Hallo mas Lukman, mau nanya nih.

Saya sedang membuat tanki API 650, tebal material yg digunakan adalah 28 mm. Apakah itu berarti nanti dilapangan hrs tetap kita lakukan PWHT
mengingat tebalnya material ini, padahal sementara di API 650 setahu saya hanya Reinforce Pad saja yg hrs di PWHT. Terus apakah WPS yg
digunakan harus memiliki parameter PWHT juga?Trimakasih.

Hallo Pak Khoirul,.salam kenal. Setahu saya kalau Tanki merefer ke API 650 untuk shell tidak dilakukan PWHT,.hanya di shell openingnya
saya..kecuali kalau Tanki bola (Sperical Tank) yang merefer ke ASME VIII maka harus di PWHT. Untuk masalah WPS karena pengelasan tanki
merefer ke ASME dan di ASME jelas-jelas statement untuk PWHT adalah essential jadi kalau Design Tanki Anda ada PWHT maka WPSnya juga
harus WPS yang ada PWHTnya.

Dear Mr. Mukesh Kanojia,

As I know in API 650 no statement about wobbling so I think its no tolerance (no allowable). As I know wobbling related to grouting. Is it your bad
experience? I will happy if you tell me the story why it happen to my email atlukman@bangunbejanabaja.com. Thanks

lukman, on July 31, 2009 at 1:27 am said:
Dear Alireza. Frankly speaking I dont know the tolerance of bottom plate of bin , but in strorage tank we usually use the rule:
1. All bottom plates shall have a minimum nominal thickness of 6 mm (1/4 in.) (49.8 kg/m2 (10.2 lbf/ft2) exclusive of any corrosion
allowance specified by the Purchaser for the bottom plates. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser,
all rectangular and sketch plates (bottom plates on which the shell rests that have one end rectangular) shall have a minimum
nominal width of 1800 mm (72 in.).
2. Bottom plates of sufficient size shall be ordered so that, when trimmed, at least a 50 mm (2 in.) width will project outside
the shell or meet requirements given in 5.1.5.7 of API 650 whichever is greater.
3. Bottom plates shall be welded in accordance with para 5.1.5.4 or 5.1.5.5 of API 650.
4. Unless otherwise specified on the Data Sheet, Line 12, tank bottoms requiring sloping shall have a minimum slope of
1:120 upwards toward center of the tank.
5. If specified on the Data Sheet, Line 12, a foundation drip ring shall be provided to prevent ingress of water between
the tank bottom and foundation. Unless the Purchaser specifies otherwise, the ring shall meet the following requirements
(see Figure 5-5 of API 650)
a. Material shall be carbon steel, 3 mm (1/8-in.) minimum thickness.
b. All radial joints between sections of the drip rings, as well as between the drip ring and the annular plate or bottom, shall be
continuously seal-welded.
c. The drip ring shall extend at least 75 mm (3 in.) beyond the outer
periphery of the foundation ringwall and then turn down
(up to 90) at its outer diameter.
d. The top and bottom of the drip ring, and the top of the tank bottom
edge protection beyond the shell, and a portion of the
tank shell shall be coated if specified by the Purchaser.

dear sir,
i have some question about welding inspection , my question is can we apply vaccum box testing in butt weld joint for roof or bottom. ( for Misc tank)
Reply
Dear Rajeev Rosen Dey, What the kind of design engineering and fabrication for your Tank?
1. in API 650 (welded steel tanks for oil storage ) we usually use lap joint and the examination please refer to para 7.3.3 (examination and
testing of the tank bottom use method A vacuum box test or tracer gas test or After at least the lowest shell course has been attached to
the bottom, water (to be supplied by the Purchaser) shall be pumped underneath the bottom).
2. in API 12F (specification for shop welded tanks for storage of production liquids) joint in bottom plates shall be use double-welded butt
joint and for examination please refer to para 5.3 (for detection of leaks apply soap suds, linseed oil or other suitable material to all shell,
bottom, roof and attachment welds).

Vacuum box test is not a mandatory for butt welds as per API650
for Bottom and Roof only.

note: pls check the Vacuum box Bottom Rubber,because rubber is damage the vacuum problem.(not reach vacuum 76 cm Hg)

Saat ini saya sedang membuat tanki API 650 dengan diameter 38500 dengan height 19585 dengan toleransi peaking 7 mm, banding 13 mm dan
Plumbness 1/400 , dengan dipasang ring stiffener angle pada shell course 6 dan 7, Pak ada satu hal yg ingin saya pertanyakan menyangkut
masalah deformasi tanki, sampai saat ini masih belum ada yang bisa mengatasi deformasi tank, dan bahkan perusahaan man Contractor telah
memanggil three party untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut dan hasilnya nambah hancur atau semakin membesar deformasinya / shell plate tersebut
seperti snack setelah di heat oleh three party dan bahkan three party tersebut mengundurkan diri untuk mengatasi tank tersebut,
note :
1. banding pada horizontal 6 : 48 mm, 1 plate dengan banding 48 mm sudah di cutting sebelum di heat
2. saat ini tank dengan diameter 38500 dengan total 16 tank belum ada satupun yang selesai = sudah berjalan 2 tahun lebih
D.F.O (38500) = Total 6 Tank D.F.O # 01 ~ 06 (Semuah Repair,
D.F.O JAPS (38500) = Total 10 Tank JAPS # 01 ~ 10 (Tank 01, 02 Repair, Tank 06 baru 3 Shell naik, Tank 10 Baru 1 Shell Naik ), 06 Tank saat ini
Belum ada erection sama sekali
pertanyaan saya
bagaimana cara mengatasi atau repair tank tersebut
saya akan kirimkan data report peaking and banding ke email bapak kira kira boleh tidak
thank

Hallo juga mas Ifan,

Maaf ni agak lama balasnya,..Data yang mas Ifan berikan belum komplit jadi agak susah nelaahnya. Berapa tebal plate? Berapa ukuran
stiffener angle nya? Materialnya apa? Deformasinya di material atau di pengelasannya?
Btw mas Ifan lakukan pengukuran peaking & banding pada waktu fit-up atau setelah pengelasan? Untuk kedepan sebaiknya lakukan
pengukuran peaking & banding pada waktu fit-up jadi kalau tidak masuk toleransi bias langsung ditanggulangi. Thanks

Perusahaan Tempat bekerja saya berencana membuat tangki solar 1200 liter, bisa dibantu perhitungan materialnya gak mas, berdasarkan data yang
yang lama, ukurannya adalah diameter 960mm x Panjang 1600mm, plat yang di pakai 4 mm, apakah material tersebut sudah memnuhi standar API
650,
saya tunggu jawabannya mas, di email ke sukron.makmun@yahoo.co.id

Mas Lukman,
Salam kenal, saya ingin menanyakan apakah shell plate dgn tebal 6 mm masih boleh secara konstruksi/welding untuk tangki diameter 18 m.
Di API 650 memang disebutkan thickness 6 mm bisa digunakan antara diameter 15 m s/d 36 m.
Course shell pertama thickness 8 mm (1.5 m height) dan course ke 2 sampai ke 7dgn thickness 6 mm.
apakah ada kemungkinan buckling saat pengelasan full weld? bagaimana cara untuk mencegah buckling saat horisontal full weld?
Terima kasih sebelumnya.
Salam
zul

Salam kenal pak Zulkifli,..

Iya pak masih bisa. Buckling atau tidaknya lebih banyak disebabkan karena konstruksinya bukan materialnya (selama materialnya bagus).
Selama pekerjaannya sudah sesuai sequence saya pikir tidak akan ada masalah. Untuk mencegah buckling pada waktu fit-up harap dicek
peaking banding dan pengelasannya. Mudah2an membantu. Thanks

Referring to API 650 Para 5.1.5.7, weldment between shell plate to annular plate is using fillet weld.
Could we replace using Butt Weld (Single V) instead of using fillet weld. (Similar with shell plate 1st course to 2nd course)
Reply
lukman, on November 15, 2010 at 8:10 am said:
Butt weld? May be u meant fillet weld with groove? If u use annular plate with a nominal thickness greater than 12.5 mm (1/2 in) the groove
depth plus the leg of fillet is of a size equal to the annular plate thickness but shall not exceed the shell plate thickness.

Peaking measured using a horizontal sweep board 36 inch (900 mm) long. Tolerance of peaking shall not exceed inch (12.7 mm).
Banding measured using a straight edge vertical sweep board 36 inch (900 mm) long. Tolerance of peaking shall not exceed inch (12.7 mm).
pertanyaannya dari mana angka 1/2 atau 12.7 mm, karena pada API std. 650 Ed. 2007 add. 2008 for local deviations angka untuk satu mm berubah
menjadi 13 mm.
The out of plumbness in one shell plate (single course) shall not exceed 1/250 of the course height
pertanyaannya dari mana angka 1/250?
intepretasi untuk plumbness bagaimana?
the maximum out of plumbness of the top of the shell relative to the bottom of the shell shall not exceed 1/200 of the total tank height
apakah diukur dari puncak course ke atas sampai ke bagian paling bawah (dasar) dari first course atau bagaimana
Reply
Peaking banding: Kalau dalam construction bapak menggunakan satuan in maka toleransi sedang jika memakai satuan mm maka
toleransi menjadi 13 mm.
Plumbness: Diukur dari paling atas sampai bawah tidak boleh melebihi batas toleransi (1/200) dari tinggi tanki dan untuk tiap shell toleransi
plumbness tidak boleh melebihi flatness & waviness dalam STD ASTM A6.

En Lukman,
Assamualaikum, saya ingin bertanya mengenai peaking & banding. Sekarang saya terlibat dalam kerja membuat storage tank & kaedah yang kami
gunakan untuk erect tank adalah jacking method, which is we have to erect the tank starting from top to bottom. So we already finished the 12th course
till 11th course including the roofing. Them my QC actually already did the peaking and banding for shell plate but some of the readings were exceed
the tolerance given in API 650 which is +-13mm. Apa yang saya tahu, in API 650, this tolerance usually use for normal erection which is from bottom to
top. Correct me if Im wrong sbb saya bukan datang dr background QC. Ini kerana my client actually cant accept our result because they refer to API
650 aad they want reason that can menjelaskan result kami. So saya ingin nak tahu ada cara lain atau reference lain yang boleh membantu saya
supaya saya dapat member explanation for my client disamping dapat menjaga kualiti kerja kami. TQ.

dari top ke bottom atau bottom ke top sama saja pak toleransi untuk peaking banding 13 mm. Metode jacking hanya metode untuk erection
saja namun aturan inspeksinya tetap refer ke API 650. Thanks

Pak Lukman salam kenal ya..saya baru belajar tentang dunia WI, saat ini saya masih bingung tentang plumbness, apakah cara mengecekmya dari
atas tangki dijatuhkan bandul yang kemudian diukur dari bawah jaraknya dengan tangki?

utk roundness, toleransinya dalm bentuk apa yaw? mm or inch

Plumbness bisa dengan bandulan yang digantungkan dari atas tanki dan diukur jarak bandulan ke dinding shell. Perbedaan jarak tali bandulan bawah
dan atas ke dinding shell adalah nilai dari plumbness. Atau dengan menggunakan theodolit.
Peaking Banding menggunakan sweep board lalu ditempelkan di sambungan dinding shell tanki bagian dalam. Peaking untuk arah vertikal sedang
bending untuk arah horizontal.
Untuk toleransi roundness bisa mm atau inch tinggal di konversi saja pak. Makasih

Saya ada pertanyaan Di API 650 edisi 1993 material FE 52 C masuk group IV dan dikarenakan material tidak ada dipasaran maka sebagai alternatif
lain digantikan material yang berada dalam 1 group yaitu yang berada di group IV, dikarenakan material yang diganti mempunyai minimum YS =
48500 psi sedangkan material penggantinya yang berada dalam satu group tersebut minimum YS = 38000 psi, tetapi ternyata dipasaran bisa
ditemukan material penggantinya diatas minimum yaitu 50000 psi, pertanyaan saya boleh tidak kita menggunakannya.
kalau harus mengacu pada minimum yS dikarenakan dalam 1 group tidak ada yang sama atau lebih besar minimum YSnya dari FE 52C boleh tidak
digantikan oleh material di group VI yang mempunyai minimum YS yang lebih tinggi dari YS group VI.
Apa saja yang harus diberlakukan untuk material di group IV dan VI

should be provided.
Approximately 30 inches of the seam under test is brushed with a soap solution or
linseed oil. The vacuum box is placed over the coated section of the seam, and a vacuum
is applied to the box. Bubbles or foam produced by air sucked through the welded seam
will indicate the presence of porosity in the seam.
A vacuum can be drawn on the box by any convenient method, such as connection to a
gasoline or diesel-motor intake manifold or to an air ejector or special vacuum pump.
Vacuum box tested using a test pressure at least 3 psi gauge or as specified on Company

Hallo Pak Khoirul,.salam kenal. Setahu saya kalau Tanki merefer ke API 650 untuk shell tidak dilakukan PWHT,.hanya di shell openingnya
saya..kecuali kalau Tanki bola (Sperical Tank) yang merefer ke ASME VIII maka harus di PWHT. Untuk masalah WPS karena pengelasan tanki
merefer ke ASME dan di ASME jelas-jelas statement untuk PWHT adalah essential jadi kalau Design Tanki Anda ada PWHT maka WPSnya juga
harus WPS yang ada PWHTnya.

Dear Alireza. Frankly speaking I dont know the tolerance of bottom plate of bin , but in strorage tank we usually use the rule:
1. All bottom plates shall have a minimum nominal thickness of 6 mm (1/4 in.) (49.8 kg/m2 (10.2 lbf/ft2) exclusive of any corrosion
allowance specified by the Purchaser for the bottom plates. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser,
all rectangular and sketch plates (bottom plates on which the shell rests that have one end rectangular) shall have a minimum
nominal width of 1800 mm (72 in.).
2. Bottom plates of sufficient size shall be ordered so that, when trimmed, at least a 50 mm (2 in.) width will project outside
the shell or meet requirements given in 5.1.5.7 of API 650 whichever is greater.
3. Bottom plates shall be welded in accordance with para 5.1.5.4 or 5.1.5.5 of API 650.
4. Unless otherwise specified on the Data Sheet, Line 12, tank bottoms requiring sloping shall have a minimum slope of
1:120 upwards toward center of the tank.
5. If specified on the Data Sheet, Line 12, a foundation drip ring shall be provided to prevent ingress of water between
the tank bottom and foundation. Unless the Purchaser specifies otherwise, the ring shall meet the following requirements
(see Figure 5-5 of API 650)
a. Material shall be carbon steel, 3 mm (1/8-in.) minimum thickness.
b. All radial joints between sections of the drip rings, as well as between the drip ring and the annular plate or bottom, shall be
continuously seal-welded.
c. The drip ring shall extend at least 75 mm (3 in.) beyond the outer
periphery of the foundation ringwall and then turn down
(up to 90) at its outer diameter.
d. The top and bottom of the drip ring, and the top of the tank bottom
edge protection beyond the shell, and a portion of the
tank shell shall be coated if specified by the Purchaser.

Dear Rajeev Rosen Dey, What the kind of design engineering and fabrication for your Tank?
1. in API 650 (welded steel tanks for oil storage ) we usually use lap joint and the examination please refer to para 7.3.3 (examination and
testing of the tank bottom use method A vacuum box test or tracer gas test or After at least the lowest shell course has been attached to
the bottom, water (to be supplied by the Purchaser) shall be pumped underneath the bottom).
2. in API 12F (specification for shop welded tanks for storage of production liquids) joint in bottom plates shall be use double-welded butt
joint and for examination please refer to para 5.3 (for detection of leaks apply soap suds, linseed oil or other suitable material to all shell,
bottom, roof and attachment welds).

Vacuum box test is not a mandatory for butt welds as per API650
for Bottom and Roof only.

note: pls check the Vacuum box Bottom Rubber,because rubber is damage the vacuum problem.(not reach vacuum 76 cm Hg)

Dear Sir,
Could you send me the method of repairing the distortions in the shell and joints. How many times we can repair in a weld seam?. our client spec for
peaking is 13 mm and banding is 7 mm only. we are suffering a lot . tank capacity is 20000m3.
Reply
1. Cutting weld metal using grinding machine in the buckling area vertical and horizontal weld
2. Install Strong back according to Radius of Tank with Vertical position using Horse shoe
3. Setting strong back to assure the plate buckling has been same with radius of tank
4. Clean Gap of Shell Plate where Weld metal has been remove from Horizontal and Vertical weld location.
5. Built up plate on the welding line if any length of plate has shortness because cutting of weld metal.
6. After finish built up test weld metal with Dye Penetrant test to assure the weld is good and no crack.
7. After all Built up finish and Gap of welding line is fine, fit up vertical joint and install stiffener / key plate in the location of buckling area
8. After All Vertical Joint has been fit up and than weld the vertical joint, carefully from out side of Tank
9. After finish weld from out side check the radius of buckling plate and setting again using stiffener and Key plate
10. if Radius of Tank is OK continuous Back weld ( from inside tank)
11. After finish Vertical welds and than check Peaking of Vertical welds, Measurement of Peaking must be not exceed tolerance by API 650
12. After finis Vertical joint, conduct Horizontal joint follow same is Vertical joint procedure
13. After all welding finish (vertical and horizontal) clean area from spatter and tack weld
14. All Stopper and Strong back and other tools using for repair will be removed after plate cold
15. After removed all temporary attachment to shell plate check Local deviations Peaking at Vertical weld joints and Banding at Horizontal
weld joints and also roundness , refer to API 650

Saat ini saya sedang membuat tanki API 650 dengan diameter 38500 dengan height 19585 dengan toleransi peaking 7 mm, banding 13 mm dan
Plumbness 1/400 , dengan dipasang ring stiffener angle pada shell course 6 dan 7, Pak ada satu hal yg ingin saya pertanyakan menyangkut
masalah deformasi tanki, sampai saat ini masih belum ada yang bisa mengatasi deformasi tank, dan bahkan perusahaan man Contractor telah
memanggil three party untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut dan hasilnya nambah hancur atau semakin membesar deformasinya / shell plate tersebut
seperti snack setelah di heat oleh three party dan bahkan three party tersebut mengundurkan diri untuk mengatasi tank tersebut,
note :
1. banding pada horizontal 6 : 48 mm, 1 plate dengan banding 48 mm sudah di cutting sebelum di heat
2. saat ini tank dengan diameter 38500 dengan total 16 tank belum ada satupun yang selesai = sudah berjalan 2 tahun lebih
D.F.O (38500) = Total 6 Tank D.F.O # 01 ~ 06 (Semuah Repair,
D.F.O JAPS (38500) = Total 10 Tank JAPS # 01 ~ 10 (Tank 01, 02 Repair, Tank 06 baru 3 Shell naik, Tank 10 Baru 1 Shell Naik ), 06 Tank saat ini
Belum ada erection sama sekali
pertanyaan saya
bagaimana cara mengatasi atau repair tank tersebut
saya akan kirimkan data report peaking and banding ke email bapak kira kira boleh tidak
thank

Hallo juga mas Ifan,

Maaf ni agak lama balasnya,..Data yang mas Ifan berikan belum komplit jadi agak susah nelaahnya. Berapa tebal plate? Berapa ukuran
stiffener angle nya? Materialnya apa? Deformasinya di material atau di pengelasannya?
Btw mas Ifan lakukan pengukuran peaking & banding pada waktu fit-up atau setelah pengelasan? Untuk kedepan sebaiknya lakukan
pengukuran peaking & banding pada waktu fit-up jadi kalau tidak masuk toleransi bias langsung ditanggulangi. Thanks

Di API 650 memang disebutkan thickness 6 mm bisa digunakan antara diameter 15 m s/d 36 m.
Course shell pertama thickness 8 mm (1.5 m height) dan course ke 2 sampai ke 7dgn thickness 6 mm.
apakah ada kemungkinan buckling saat pengelasan full weld? bagaimana cara untuk mencegah buckling saat horisontal full weld?
Terima kasih sebelumnya.

Reply
Salam kenal pak Zulkifli,..

Iya pak masih bisa. Buckling atau tidaknya lebih banyak disebabkan karena konstruksinya bukan materialnya (selama materialnya bagus).
Selama pekerjaannya sudah sesuai sequence saya pikir tidak akan ada masalah. Untuk mencegah buckling pada waktu fit-up harap dicek
peaking banding dan pengelasannya. Mudah2an membantu. Thanks

Butt weld? May be u meant fillet weld with groove? If u use annular plate with a nominal thickness greater than 12.5 mm (1/2 in) the groove
depth plus the leg of fillet is of a size equal to the annular plate thickness but shall not exceed the shell plate thickness.

The out of plumbness in one shell plate (single course) shall not exceed 1/250 of the course height

intepretasi untuk plumbness bagaimana?

the maximum out of plumbness of the top of the shell relative to the bottom of the shell shall not exceed 1/200 of the total tank height
apakah diukur dari puncak course ke atas sampai ke bagian paling bawah (dasar) dari first course atau bagaimana
Reply
Peaking banding: Kalau dalam construction bapak menggunakan satuan in maka toleransi sedang jika memakai satuan mm maka
toleransi menjadi 13 mm.
Plumbness: Diukur dari paling atas sampai bawah tidak boleh melebihi batas toleransi (1/200) dari tinggi tanki dan untuk tiap shell toleransi
plumbness tidak boleh melebihi flatness & waviness dalam STD ASTM A6.

En Lukman,
Assamualaikum, saya ingin bertanya mengenai peaking & banding. Sekarang saya terlibat dalam kerja membuat storage tank & kaedah yang kami
gunakan untuk erect tank adalah jacking method, which is we have to erect the tank starting from top to bottom. So we already finished the 12th course
till 11th course including the roofing. Them my QC actually already did the peaking and banding for shell plate but some of the readings were exceed
the tolerance given in API 650 which is +-13mm. Apa yang saya tahu, in API 650, this tolerance usually use for normal erection which is from bottom to
top. Correct me if Im wrong sbb saya bukan datang dr background QC. Ini kerana my client actually cant accept our result because they refer to API
650 aad they want reason that can menjelaskan result kami. So saya ingin nak tahu ada cara lain atau reference lain yang boleh membantu saya
supaya saya dapat member explanation for my client disamping dapat menjaga kualiti kerja kami. TQ.

Plumbness bisa dengan bandulan yang digantungkan dari atas tanki dan diukur jarak bandulan ke dinding shell. Perbedaan jarak tali bandulan bawah
dan atas ke dinding shell adalah nilai dari plumbness. Atau dengan menggunakan theodolit.
Peaking Banding menggunakan sweep board lalu ditempelkan di sambungan dinding shell tanki bagian dalam. Peaking untuk arah vertikal sedang
bending untuk arah horizontal.
Untuk toleransi roundness bisa mm atau inch tinggal di konversi saja pak. Makasih

lain digantikan material yang berada dalam 1 group yaitu yang berada di group IV, dikarenakan material yang diganti mempunyai minimum YS =
48500 psi sedangkan material penggantinya yang berada dalam satu group tersebut minimum YS = 38000 psi, tetapi ternyata dipasaran bisa
ditemukan material penggantinya diatas minimum yaitu 50000 psi, pertanyaan saya boleh tidak kita menggunakannya.
kalau harus mengacu pada minimum yS dikarenakan dalam 1 group tidak ada yang sama atau lebih besar minimum YSnya dari FE 52C boleh tidak
digantikan oleh material di group VI yang mempunyai minimum YS yang lebih tinggi dari YS group VI.
Apa saja yang harus diberlakukan untuk material di group IV dan VI

For shell to annular plate welds, what is the maximum amount of undercut permissible?? API 650 does not clarify this, it just states the acceptance
criteria for horizontal and vertical butt welds.
Thanks

Dear Bpk Lukman,

Saya sedang membuat Raw water tank dan Demineriled Tank dengan coating Epoxy, namun saya ingin melakukan Hydostatic test pada tangki
tersebut. Apakah air yang digunakan adalah fresh water atau sea water? Mohon penjelasannya. Terima kasih.

Selamat pagi,
Saya ingin menanyakan tentang pengguaan air pada Hydrotest. Apakah diperbolehkan menggunakan seawater untuk Hydrotest? Apakah ada batasan
tertentu dengan penggunaan seawater dalam Hydrotest?
Demikian pertanyaan dari saya, saya ucapkan terima kasih. Mohon bantuannya.

Halo pak Lukman,

Mohon Share Metode Hydrostatic Test untuk Water Storage Tank. Apakah ada aturannya saat memasukkan air ke dalam Tangki? (Misalnya
kecepatan air harus sekian m3/detik atau lainnya)
Apakah Metodenya langsung isi full atau bertahap? misalnya 15%, 50%, 75% dan 100%. Setiap tahap harus ditahan berapa lama?
Terimakasih atas penjelasannya pak Lukman,

Astaga. wow Saya ngga tau apakah saya yang katrok atau memang ketinggalan jaman..
Tapi this is so cooooooooll absolutely
coolll..
Ngeblog dari microsoft office. Wow!!!!!
Sekarang kesempatan untuk sharing benar-benar lebih duh.. masih speechless nih..
Benar-benar.. mantap.. canggih. Saat ini saya sedang menggunakan MS One Note, dari MS Office 2007.
Hellow Office 2007 kan sudah muncul dari jaman kapan, gan.
Iya.. cuman waktu itu saya sudah coba berpindah, tapi ternyata membuat drawing di MS Office 2007 tidak semudah dan secepat
MS Office 2003. Ribet. Kenapa patokan saya adalah membuat drawing? Karena sebagian besar pekerjaan membuat ilustrasi entah
itu untuk artikel di website ini, maupun untuk kerjaan, saya lakukan dengan bantuan MS Excel 2003. Karena sedikit kesulitan
akhirnya saya kembali ke Office 2003.
Nah.. beberapa hari terakhir ini saya coba beralih ke MS Office 2007. Butuh sedikit penyesuaian, karena ternyata ada beberapa trik
yang bisa berjalan di MS Excel 2003 tapi tidak berhasil kalo diterapkan di Excel 2007. Alhamdulillah pekerjaan membuat ilustrasi
sudah mulai berjalan lancar. Tinggal mencari trik-trik baru.
Nah hari ini secara tidak sengaja saya masuk ke salah satu program bawaan MS Office 2007 yang tidak ada di Office 2003, yaitu
One Note.
Benar-benar nggak sengaja.. alias terdampar. Waktu melihat One Note wah keren juga, tapi mau dipake buat apa ya? Akhirnya
ketemu satu fitur yang luar biasa blog! Sebenarnya ini ada di MS Word 2007, tapi ngeblog pake MS Word kesannya kaku
banget! Beda dengan One Note ini bisa ngatur layout sepuasnya, bisa bikin gambar ilustrasi dengan mudah dll

wah sangat menarik,

dilihat dari tabel disamping gambar, ada perhitungan singkat, apakah itu seperti cell di dalam excel
,untuk menghitung ketebalan plat yang diperlukan untuk silo diatas pakai program apa ya?
terima kasih, sebelumnya
admin said,
@Pak Arif,
Itu cuma tabel biasa, pak seperti tabel pada MS Word. Seharusnya bisa insert MS Excel juga tapi saya belum coba.
Mengenai sketsa yang bapak sebut sebagai silo, itu sebenarnya strorage tank. Wujudnya mirip-mirip dengan gambar di bawah:
Untuk menghitung ketebalan pelatnya, biasanya dilakukan oleh mechanical engineering, tergantung dari isi tanki tersebut.
Untuk desain tanki secara keseluruhan paling sedikit melibatkan 3 disiplin:
- Process Engineering, mereka menentukan kebutuhan volume tanki, diameter dan ketinggian tanki, isi tanki, kondisi operation
seperti apa, kondisi test (full), dll.
- Mechanical Engineering, mereka menentukan tebal tanki, spesifikasi material, dan kebutuhan-kebutuhan equipment penunjang.
Mereka juga yang menghitung berat kosong tanki, berat dalam kondisi normal operation, dan berat dalam kondisi test.
Kadang, kalo diperlukan, Mechanical Engineer juga yang menghitung reaksi (yaitu Momen guling dan gasa geser) pada dasar
tanki akibat gempa. Soalnya perilaku material sewaktu ada gempa tentu berbeda dengan bangunan sipil biasa. Seperti contoh
air di dalam gelas, jika gelasnya digoyang-goyang secara horizontal, ada efek limpasan airnya. Begitu juga dengan cairan yang
ada di dalam tanki. Standard yang digunakan juga bukan standar perencanaan yang biasa digunakan oleh Civil Engineer.. untuk
beban gempa pada tanki pada umumnya mengacu ke API 650 (American Petroleum Institue)
- Civil Engineering. Mereka mendesain struktur atap tanki (jika bentang/diameternya sangat besar), dan tentu saja pondasinya.
Bekalnya adalah data beban yang dikeluarkan oleh Mechanical Engineering. Ada kasus-kasus tertentu, beban gempanya
dihitung sendiri oleh Civil Engineer. Standar yang digunakan ada 2: ASCE atau UBC. ASCE lebih lengkap dan lebih mendekati API.
UBC lebih simpel dan lebih konservatif.
(mohon dikoreksi)
halomoan said,
sekedar tambahan :
wong civil juga bisa ngitung tebal plate shellnya mengacu pada standard API 650,
t=[{4.9*D*(H-0.3)*G)/Sd]+CA======> API650 5.6.3.2

ya namanya manusia harus selalu belajar soal ilmu dasarnya sama orang tehnik itu lebih baik paling tidak mengerti ilmu tehnik
yang lain, kalau mendapat ilmu baru seharusnya disebar biar nanti bisa mendapatkan yang lain.ilmu itu tidak dibawah mati
lohcuma kebaikan dan kejelekan yang dibawah.

thanks gan..nais inpo..

sy mah baru tahu one note stelah baca porstingan juragan diatas..
*bener2.katroksekali.co.id, pdhal sy didepan kompi yg ada ms.office nya krg lbh udah 9 th..xixixixxi

Bisa untuk posting blogger juga?
Airin said,
eemmm. . .
klo jurusan T.sipil tuh tiap harinya hanya bergelut dgn materi fisika trus yyaa..???
admin said,
Sebagian besar iya. Tapi nggak semua Fisika khusus Fisika kesetimbangan saja yang paling banyak dibahas. Konsep gaya,
tegangan, regangan, inersia, elastisitas.
Untuk tingkat lanjut bisa ke dinamika (osilasi), energi, bahkan ada sedikit kimanya juga terutama tentang material-material yg
berhubungan dengan konstruksi
