Selection of loading time
Thread Content
For oil-based substances, how much time is generally considered necessary to fill a 20-ton truck tanker, that is, what flow rate should be selected for the loading pump? Urgent!
For a 20-ton tank truck, the net loading time is generally around 30 minutes. It is recommended to set the flow rate at 50 m³/h (or slightly higher)
If the loading arm is 3 inches in diameter, choose 50 cubic meters per hour; if it is 4 inches in diameter, choose 80 cubic meters per hour.
Agree with the person above; these are all standard practices.
You can choose 80 or 100; this way, it will take about 40 minutes to load one or two trucks.
We designed it for a capacity of 100, with filling taking about 20-30 minutes. However, the construction party, considering costs, asked that it be changed to 30, which means it now takes an hour to fill up, as there are also tank trucks with a capacity of 30 tons. How much time should be considered for loading? Are there any regulations?
The 30 pipe is too thin. 50 can also be considered
It should be 3 inches, right (DN80)? Since it is the owner’s idea, from an economic perspective, it is necessary to clarify with the owner whether the existing islands can meet the annual loading and unloading demands. If they can, I think the owner’s opinion should be respected. There’s no need to worry about which one is more suitable; as long as it fits this project and meets the owner’s requirements, that’s enough.
The time it takes to fill a vehicle is determined based on the total designed capacity; from there, the flow rate is determined, and then the pipe diameter is chosen accordingly!
