Your 48" OD X,25 " wall hemi or eliptical headed tank needs two more
factors to calculate depth:
Material (what kinda steel?) and length of cylindrical portion:
So . . . Plain Jane, garden-variety mild steel (36 Kp yield):
6 feet long       halibuts at 185 feet
8 feet long       frisbees at 140 feet
10 feet long     tortillas   at 110 feet

Plain answer, no?
