Design of dichloroethane storage tanks
Thread Content
I would like to ask experts: how to design a horizontal storage tank for dichloroethane, to be installed indoors. The operating temperature is 60°C, the operating pressure is 0.35 MPa; the diameter is 1200, the total length is 3000, and the volume is 3.2 cubic meters. The medium stored in this tank is liquid dichloroethane. Question: Is it necessary to install a safety valve? How to select the model and specifications of a safety valve? Is a leak test required? Is it necessary to carry out a full stress-relief heat treatment?
In the case of highly hazardous media! Heat treatment and airtightness testing are both necessary! What material to choose?
Generally, 304 stainless steel is sufficient; it is recommended to consult the dichloroethane production unit. A working pressure of 0.35 MPa classifies it as a pressure vessel, and it must be equipped with a safety valve. It is recommended that you consult a company specializing in the design and manufacture of pressure vessels.
First, you need to provide the physical property data of the medium, such as its toxicity and boiling point, and then a decision can be made based on the materials being used
