SAFETY FACTOR CALCULATION <br />SF = [(Total AST Empty Weight x WP x 0.5)] _ [V x Tank Height (Hp) x 0.5] <br />where: SF= Safety Factor <br />SF = [(1,895 Ib x 35 in x (1 ft _ 12 in) x 0.5)] _ [477.5 Ibf x 63 in x (1 ft /12 in) x 0.5] <br />= 2,763.5 Ib _ 1,253.4 Ib <br />= 2.2 <br />The safety factor was calculated at approximately 2.2 which is greater than 1, therefore the <br />safety factor is sufficient to not overturn. <br />Note: <br />in = inch <br />ft = foot <br />C1i2o = 7.5 Ib/gal = pounds to gallon conversion factor <br />AST empty and laden weights are estimated based on comparable tanks. <br />
