Pressure exerted on atmospheric pressure storage tanks
Thread Content
I have a atmospheric pressure tank with a capacity of 3,000 m3. What pressure will cause the tank roof to burst? Thank you, looking forward to your participation; points will be given
It depends on the material and thickness of the end cap, as well as the temperature.
This depends on the design pressure of your storage tank; generally, large storage tanks have a relatively low design pressure, around 5 KPa.
Take a look at the drawings – there should be specified design pressure and test pressure. Theoretically, exceeding the test pressure can be dangerous, but generally it’s not a big issue; P
Find the drawings and check the design pressure and test pressure
You’re referring to the design pressure of the storage tank! This is not fixed; a storage tank at normal pressure generally refers to one with a design pressure of less than 6.9 KPA. Of course, some tanks may have a lower design pressure in order to reduce costs and meet certain construction requirements. I’ve seen values as low as over 1,000 PA; it can’t go any lower!
