Sphere tank volume calculation formula
Thread Content
2,000 spherical tanks; the radius of the spherical tanks is known. Liquid level height to determine volume. Considering the temperature difference and pressure difference. Gentle experts, does anyone know which formula to use?
Use SolidWorks to draw a semicircle representing the reference liquid level height, then rotate it; the software will calculate the value, which is similar to how CAD is used to calculate the area of baffle plates
There are no design specifications. The equipment was installed in 2009
This Yong formula. The error is a bit large
Temperature differences and pressure differences also need to be taken into account; it’s not possible to calculate these using formulas, as the values change depending on the medium used. Therefore, it’s necessary to create a volume table based on actual measurements.
We used the spherical cap formula before. There is no problem with calculating the volume, as long as the liquid level is measured accurately. When converting volume to mass, a density adjusted for factors such as temperature and pressure is applied.
Considering temperature differences and pressure differences, do you need to take into account the thermal expansion and contraction of the tank? For a sphere tank with a capacity of 2000 liters, are you asking for accuracy on the level of a laboratory measuring cup?
