Question: How is the volume of the storage tank in a device determined? For 100m3, how to choose diameter x height?

It depends on where the tank is installed, what the fixing method is, and the height of the nozzles. In addition to the process requirements, it is necessary to take into account the actual conditions on site.

It is better to select equipment in accordance with chemical industry standards!

There aren’t any strict requirements regarding the size of the storage tank, right? Just do it as it is in reality, if the floor area is small. Just make the diameter smaller. The larger the ground area, the smaller the height. It is determined based on actual needs.

It is best if the diameter and height are equal. GB50160-92 specifies requirements for the layout of tank areas; there are regulations regarding the distance between tank walls as well as the distance between tanks and retaining walls, and these distances are related to the diameter and height of the tanks respectively. It needs to be considered comprehensively.

The diameter and height should preferably be equal. Each case must be analyzed on its own merits, and practical considerations need to be taken into account as a whole.

That’s right; it’s better to choose one with the same diameter and height.

First, determine what substance is being stored, and then refer to the standard specifications

It is best to have a height and diameter that are the same, taking into account the condition of the foundation.

The Institute of Medical Engineering has specific experience and practices; P5-249: 100m3 storage tank, with a diameter of 5200mm and a height of 5200mm, featuring a fixed roof.

The height-to-diameter ratio is generally chosen to be 6–9. When selecting, both the strength and stiffness of the container need to be taken into account. For high-pressure vessels, the wall thickness is generally thicker, and the height-to-diameter ratio can be larger. For low-pressure vessels, the wall thickness is relatively thin; to meet the stiffness requirements, it is advisable to keep the height-to-diameter ratio low. :lol

Refer to the standards, take into account practical conditions and regulatory requirements; for tanks located in tank areas, it is also necessary to consider the required distance from fire dikes

For vertical tanks at normal pressure, the height-to-diameter ratio is generally between 0.8 and 1.2; a value of 1 is chosen for tanks with small capacity, while a value less than 1 is used for tanks with large capacity, which helps to save material. For horizontal tanks, the length-to-diameter ratio ranges from 3 to 6, with the main consideration being proper stress distribution.:lol

First, determine the structural type of the storage tank, and then determine its dimensions based on the selection criteria for equipment per chemical industry standards

When designing vertical storage tanks, it is necessary to select an appropriate height-to-diameter ratio. The determination of this ratio must first take into account the strength requirements of the equipment itself; if the ratio is too high, wind loads pose a problem. To meet the strength requirements of the equipment, additional measures have to be taken, which affects the cost of the equipment. Therefore, for storage tanks with a large volume, the height-to-diameter ratio is usually less than 1; the larger the volume, the smaller the height-to-diameter ratio tends to be. At the same time, the choice of height-to-diameter ratio also needs to take into account aesthetic appearance. In practice, the height-to-diameter ratio of atmospheric pressure storage tanks is usually less than 1, while that of pressure-bearing storage tanks is usually greater than 1; this is also a result derived from equipment strength calculations, taking economic considerations into account.

Simply put~~ it operates at normal pressure, is not highly toxic, and has low corrosivity; it’s used only for storage tanks~~ You can weld it freely. For other scenarios, please refer to the chemical standards~ The details provided aren’t sufficient, so I can’t assist you~~

Choosing an appropriate height-to-diameter ratio can save a significant amount of steel. Refer to \"Pressure Vessels\" 2007-2

Method 1: Select standard dimensions according to the \"Chemical Process Design Manual\"; Method 2: Determine the diameter and height based on the actual conditions of the site; generally, the length (height) to diameter ratio is 1.2~1.5.
