1. What are the biggest disadvantages of cylindrical storage tanks and spherical storage tanks? How to avoid it?
I’ve never done it before. I only know that spherical storage tanks are difficult to assemble and their manufacturing cost is high, but the materials are utilized efficiently and the weight is low. Cylindrical tanks are relatively easier to manufacture, but they require more materials, have thicker walls, resulting in higher material costs and greater weight
Generally, pressure vessels are spherical tanks, while atmospheric pressure vessels are cylindrical tanks. The pressure resistance of the spherical tank is relatively uniform
Spherical storage tanks use less material, can withstand high pressures, but require high precision in manufacturing； Cylindrical storage tanks are simple to manufacture, but they are expensive in materials and have low pressure resistance.
