For vertical PPH storage tanks, how is the wall thickness of the tank body calculated?
Thread Content
We produce equipment such as polypropylene (PPH) storage tanks. These devices are required to operate at normal temperature and pressure, and they are manufactured using the winding process. I have just started working in the plastics industry; previously I was involved in mechanical machining. There are calculation methods for the wall thickness of steel vertical storage tanks, but none for polypropylene (PPH). If anyone knows them, please let me know. Thank you. The experienced workers in our factory determine the wall thickness based on experience.
You can take a look at the spreadsheet I created at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1604294-1-1.html
Different manufacturers use different processes, which results in varying strengths of the materials. But they are all within a certain range. As far as I know, it is each manufacturer that calculates it based on its own processes.
