Height-to-radius ratio of tower-shaped containers

The ratio of the height to the radius of a tower-type container???? If the person asking this question is a professional, then such a question is highly unprofessional. According to the latest standard JB/T 4710-2005, the proper term for this type of container is \"steel tower-type container.\" If design is to be carried out in accordance with this standard, the required geometric dimensions are as follows: the height H must be greater than 10 meters, and the ratio of height H to the average diameter D must be greater than 5, for self-supporting steel tower-type containers with a skirt base. However, in practical engineering applications, various geometric dimensions may be necessary depending on the process requirements, so there are no strict limitations. It’s simply that the process determines the appropriate geometric dimensions, and the relevant design standards are chosen accordingly by the professionals involved. The main difference lies in the design costs and manufacturing costs.

If a storage tank with a diameter of 12 meters and a height of 4 meters is to be constructed, how should the cone height of the upper end cap be determined? Is it acceptable to use H=0.5~1.5R? For example, if H=0.8R and H=4.8 meters, then the height of the upper head is 0.8 meters. Some of these storage tanks are intended for storing yellow phosphorus; does this meet the requirements of the design standards? This post was last edited by www557 on 2009-2-28 21:41]

First, clarify what standards you are using for the design! Is it the Design Code for Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Oil Tanks GB50341-2003??? Well, then read carefully the specific provisions of this code first.

This device is called a storage tank, not a tower. It should also be pressure-free; it’s not a pressure vessel, right? ! There is no such requirement regarding the height-to-diameter ratio of the storage tank. The conical head can be made as tall as desired, as long as the strength requirements are met
