It is a flat-bottomed storage tank with a capacity of 1000 liters, whose tank walls are made of 8mm thick carbon steel plates; the tank is empty. What pressure can it withstand when filled with nitrogen? This post was last edited by bobo315 on 2009-2-13 08:15.]
As you said, this of yours should be a gas holder; calculate the strength of relevant components by referring to the standards for wet gas holders.
It would be best to provide pictures and the technical specifications of this container.
As you mentioned, this storage tank must be a atmospheric pressure tank, and nitrogen is intended to be used for protection. If the bottom of the tank is in full contact with the ground, it’s possible to achieve a pressure of 0.05 MPA.
If the bottom of the tank is in full contact with the ground and anchored with foot bolts, it can withstand a pressure of 0.0018 MPa.
Providing the diameter of your tank and the shape of its head – whether it is flat, conical, or circular/elliptical – affects its pressure resistance. If the diameter is 10 meters and the head is flat, it’s no problem to fill it with 1 kilogram of material
The \"Design Code for Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Oil Tanks\" SH3046-92 specifies that the design pressure for tanks operating at atmospheric pressure is a positive pressure of 6000 Pa； Negative pressure: 490Pa
