XERXES <br />CORPORATION <br />making a lasting: difference' <br />November 13, 2017 <br />Mark Vendeiro <br />E-mail: mvpeng0att.net <br />Cc: Jim Anderson, Xerxes <br />Greg Matas <br />Re: One 10 -foot -diameter 12k x 8k -gallon Double -Wall MCT <br />One 10 -foot -diameter 20k -gallon Double -Wall Tank <br />Buoyancy Calc- Manteca Chevron, 1231 N. Main Street, Manteca CA <br />Dear Mark: <br />We have summarized the buoyancy data you requested. All of the calculations are <br />based on the site data you have provided to us and on nominal engineering values <br />for the physical parameters. <br />All of the calculations are based on standard engineering practice. We use <br />approaches in a manner similar to the protocols presented in the PEI/RP 100-17 <br />manual to calculate the underground tank Buoyancy Safety Factors. <br />It is the tank owner's responsibility to determine the suitability and applicability of <br />installation. Our sole responsibility in any installation is as stated in our Limited <br />Warranty. <br />Our calculations show that, given the installation parameters that you have provided <br />to us (calculated with the tank empty, burial depth of 6 feet 6 inches, the water <br />table at the same elevation as the top of the tank, and anchored with factory - <br />supplied deadmen) the Buoyancy Safety Factors are as follows: <br />Tank <br />Buoyancy Safety Factor <br />10 -foot -diameter 12k x 8k -gallon Double -Wall MCT <br />2.56:1 <br />10 -foot -diameter 20k -gallon Double -Wall Tank <br />2.63:1 <br />We recommend a minimum Buoyancy Safety Factor of 1.20:1. I have included <br />copies of the worksheets for your files. <br />If we can be of additional assistance, please feel free to contact us. <br />Sincerely, <br />TeJinder Singh <br />Design Engineer -Sales Support <br />Attachment - 2 <br />7901 Xerxes Avenue South • Minneapolis • Minnesota • United S <br />Ph: 952-887-1890 • Fax: 952-887-1870 • Web: www.xerxes.com <br />
