Opening reinforcement of hydrogen storage tanks
Thread Content
Reinforcement of openings in hydrogen storage tanks: Our unit has designed a hydrogen storage tank with a diameter of 2800 mm, a volume of 40 cubic meters, a pressure of 1.8 MPa, and a temperature of 50°C. Is it reasonable to reinforce the manholes on this tank using reinforcement plates?
What is the material? If it is a high-strength hydrogen-resistant steel, reinforcement plates cannot be used; overall reinforcement must be employed.
I guess no one uses hydrogen-resistant high-strength steel at this temperature? It’s completely fine to use reinforcement rings with this device; I don’t understand why such a question is asked
Sometimes some design firms don’t follow conventional approaches; we here have all-stainless-steel equipment with wall thicknesses of over 50 millimeters
It’s fine to use reinforcement rings for reinforcement; it’s reasonable. Of course, it’s better to reinforce it with thick-walled pipes or forgings!
The temperature and pressure are not high, and it’s a storage tank; I think using reinforcement rings is no problem
Hehe, there’s no other way when you don’t follow the usual rules: lol
Given the conditions, using a reinforcement ring is the most reasonable structure.
The hydrogen containers in our facility all use reinforcement rings (pressure range: 0.2–2.5 Mpa)
