Selection of stainless steel storage tanks

What wall thickness should stainless steel have under high vacuum?
Specify the conditions in more detail. What is the specific pressure? Is there a temperature too?
It can be calculated using the software sw6, or there are separate calculation methods specified in GB150. 1# woodwxt
This question is too vague – how big is the container? How tall? Things like plate thickness need to be calculated
3000L, height 1200, vacuum -0.09MPA
How about this: send over your requirements, or email them to me, and I’ll help you design it. It should include information such as pressure, diameter, height or volume, whether it is vertical or horizontal, the medium used, and the operating temperature. All the conditions provided by the process team must be given in full. My email is wang_518dx@163.com; I don’t want your money!
There are specific formulas for calculating wall thickness; it is necessary to know the allowable stress, pressure, diameter, welding factor, and other parameters
GB150 explains it clearly regarding pressure vessels
Go and download SW6; it makes the calculations simpler
There’s no need to calculate it; my experience tells me that 8mm is definitely sufficient. Designing calculations for such equipment is pure waste of time – it’s dogmatism.
The issue of corrosion allowance also needs to be considered, which brings us to the specific storage medium!
