Are there any design standards for water tanks and containers?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, I would like to ask if there are any relevant standards for designing water storage tanks or containers? I think it should be available, but I don’t know the standard number and can’t find the relevant standard. What I need to understand is how to determine the dimensions of a container for a certain volume of water, such as the design of the wall thickness, the design of the feet, and issues related to the center of gravity, etc……
If it is a pressure vessel, it should still be designed in accordance with GB/T150. The size of the volume is related to the specified filling amount, while the supports should be selected and checked in accordance with the relevant standards for supports. I really don’t know the standard for water storage tanks.
Thank you! I should use the standard of atmospheric pressure vessels. It seems so complicated with all those parameters above... I thought making a water storage tank would be simple……

Calm down, create an Excel file – it helps to fully understand the formulas; that’s great
If the water storage tank is not under pressure, it should be designed as a vessel at normal pressure; standard legs can be used for support
Please search for calculation software on the forum that can perform such calculations
