What is the maximum filling capacity of a liquefied petroleum gas tank?
In accordance with Article 36 of the Safety Regulations, the filling factor for fixed pressure vessels used to hold liquefied gases (including liquefied petroleum gas) is generally set at 0.9. For vessels whose volume has been determined experimentally, a value higher than 0.9 may be used, but it must not exceed 0.95； It is a mobile pressure vessel with a liquefied gas as its medium; the filling factor for the tank (for liquefied petroleum gas) is 0.42 in both cases, whether the design pressure is 2.16 MPa or 1.77 MPa. Therefore, for storage tanks designed to hold liquefied petroleum gas, the maximum filling capacity varies depending on the type of tank, and it can be calculated using volume multiplied by a filling coefficient. For reference!
Come and learn a bit. Remember, right now I’m just accumulating experience, waiting for the right moment to burst through

The TSG 21-2016 Regulations on Safety Supervision of Fixed Pressure Vessels stipulate in 3.1.13 only that the filling coefficient shall not be greater than 0.95. So, may I ask: in daily use, can a horizontal liquefied gas tank be filled to 95% of its volume? Due to installation errors of the level gauge, deviations in the scale, or minor mistakes by the operators, it is very easy to overfill the gas inlet pipe. For daily use, how much does everyone install? Based on what standards? Frontline management wants to fill everything to capacity, but as someone in charge of safety, I’m so worried that I can’t sleep! ! !
