Do storage tanks for flammable and explosive substances need to be designed as pressure vessels?
Not necessarily. Don’t you see that gasoline tanks and diesel tanks are all atmospheric pressure containers?
Check the P*V product to see if it meets the standards.
Not necessarily; it depends on the actual operating conditions, and there are specific regulations in the \"Safety Inspection Regulations for Pressure Vessels\". For example, large low-temperature LNG and LPG storage tanks (with capacities of tens of thousands of cubic meters) are not considered pressure vessels when stored at atmospheric pressure.
