The temperature and pressure ports of horizontal liquefied petroleum gas storage tanks are generally located on the side or top of the tank. Thermometers are usually installed in contact with the liquid to accurately monitor its temperature, while pressure gauges are typically placed at the top of the container or near it. Local pressure gauges and thermometers can use threaded connections, but they must meet the safety standards for storage tanks. The size of the pipe fitting should be determined based on the specific specifications of the instrument; it is usually between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch NPT (**pipe thread**). Before installation, please verify the compatibility of all interfaces and accessories as well as their pressure resistance to ensure safe use. .
