## Description

This MCP server provides engineering tools to design atmospheric storage tanks according to the API 650 standard. It allows AI agents to calculate critical tank parameters including physical footprint via `get_tank_dimensions`, determine necessary shell thickness with `calculate_shell_thickness`, assess stability against environmental loads using `evaluate_environmental_stability`, and specify roof structures with `design_tank_roof`.

## Tools

### calculate_shell_thickness
Determines the necessary thickness of the vertical steel plates for the tank shell

### design_tank_roof
Determines the type and thickness of the roof structure

### evaluate_environmental_stability
Assesses the tank's resistance to wind and seismic forces

### get_tank_dimensions
Calculates the physical footprint and height of the tank based on required volume

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the dimensions for a tank with a capacity of 5000 cubic meters.
```

**Response:** 
```
The tank will have a diameter of 20 meters and a height of approximately 15.92 meters, with a footprint area of 314.16 square meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required shell thickness for a tank with 10m diameter, 15m height, 900 kg/m3 density, and 250 MPa yield strength?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required shell thickness is 8.5 mm, with a bottom plate thickness of 12.0 mm and a corrosion allowance of 2.0 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Design a fixed roof for a tank with 12m diameter and 5 kPa internal pressure.
```

**Response:** 
```
The design specifies a fixed roof with a thickness of 5.5 mm and requires standard structural support.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What standards does this tool follow?**
All calculations and design parameters are based on the API 650 standard for atmospheric storage tanks.

**Can I calculate shell thickness for different materials?**
Yes, by using `calculate_shell_thickness`, you can specify the material yield strength to determine the required thickness.

**Does it account for environmental factors?**
Yes, the `evaluate_environmental_stability` tool assesses resistance to both wind and seismic forces.
