Solid Piled Storage Below 20 Feet with Error Detection (18 vs. 17 feet)
What You’ll Learn:
- How to verify storage heights below 20 feet for solid piled storage
- How to identify plan errors where stated storage heights exceed system capabilities
- The process: find minimum at 20 feet, apply percentage decrease, compare to available density
- How to read percentage decreases: 18 feet = 87%, 17 feet = 80%
- How to use trial-and-error to find the correct maximum storage height
- The importance of writing corrections when calculations reveal errors
- How to work through multiple height scenarios to verify the actual maximum
- Example: Plan states 18 feet possible with 0.2 GPM over 2,400 sq ft, but 0.22 GPM is needed; actual maximum is 17 feet (requires exactly 0.2 GPM)
