Code Updates

Configuration

  • Eliminated the use of the configuration file. Previously, TANK used the configuration file to define the configuration settings. TANK now saves the configuration settings directly to the registry. Click Save as Default on the Configuration dialog box to override the current configuration settings saved to the registry. (CR-TX-13015)

  • Added the check box Uncorroded Thickness for Seismic Calculations in the Configuration dialog box to allow the uncorroded thickness to be used in the Seismic Analysis Results report as defined by the specification in API 650, Appendix E. (CR-TX-22130)

Input Processor and Analysis

  • Updated the user interface of the Material Database Editor to be consistent with TANK. (CR-TX-18573)

  • Removed the API-653 Specific Tank Data section from the General Tank Data tab when a code other than API 653 is selected in the API Design Code field. (CR-TX-19544) 

  • Updated TANK to properly convert temperature values when changing units. Previously, if you changed units from Imperial to metric, TANK converted temperature fields with defined values but incorrectly converted temperature fields with undefined values or values set to 0. TANK no longer converts temperature values for fields with undefined values or values set to 0 when changing units. (CR-TX-10949)

  • Updated the user interface to gather additional information and perform calculations per API 2000, 7th Edition. The API 2000 7th report indicates the latest code updates. For more information, see Venting Requirements. (CR-TX-22173)

  • Updated the user interface of the Material Database Editor to require a unique material name when adding information to the database before clicking Save. (CR-TX-9933)

  • Updated the user interface to include a user-derived annular plate thickness in the Tank Data Tab. TANK uses this user-derived value in the calculations instead of the computed value from the code. (CR-TX-10169)

Output Reports

  • Added the Generate PDF File option to the Output Processor. The new Generate PDF File option allows you to publish all output reports to PDF in one click. (CR-TX-18571)

  • Added a warning to the Roof Evaluation/Design & Appendix F report that indicates when a tank roof does not meet minimum thickness requirements as specified by API 650. (CR-TX-19627)
