Hot water storage tank
Thread Content
Hello, dear sea friends. The diameter of the tank is 4 meters, and its height is 7.8 meters. The sheet is 304 stainless steel with a back thickness of 3 millimeters. Is there a risk of the hot water tank exploding when used to store hot water? Is it highly dangerous? Thank you!
This probably requires skill from a skilled person – has the stress calculation been done? Moreover, it’s hot water, so there will be stress concentration at the bottom; be careful, as the tank might tear. In my experience, leaks will occur at the welds. Calculate the static pressure column to see what the value is.
Yes! I don’t dare to use it either; what if something goes wrong? It would be terrible!
A vertical tank with a volume of nearly 100 m3 has insufficient rigidity due to its 3 mm wall thickness. If the number of reinforcement rings required to meet the rigidness requirements is too large, it is better to increase the wall thickness appropriately from the perspective of controlling manufacturing costs.
This jar belongs to someone else; I wanted to buy it for my own use, but I don’t dare to do so now. Thank you
If steam is not introduced directly, adding a few additional reinforcing rings on the outside should work； It is recommended to consult the tank manufacturer. Thank you!
Isn’t a 3mm plate really thick? Can 7.8 meters of hot water break or crush steel plates? Still stainless steel, ? ? ? A pressure of 7.8 meters of water column is utterly insignificant; I guess even three or five times that amount wouldn’t be enough to break steel plates. Come and get a voltage regulator from Pig Brother; I’ll test your semen for you. Gagagaga, {:2_42:} ........
The standard pressure of a 1-meter water column = 9.80665 kPa
This is way too thin; even pipes are thicker than this
Why is stainless steel used for water tanks? It’s not cost-effective or practical from any perspective
