On the safe filling volume of spherical tanks
Thread Content
I have a question for the experts: what is the safe filling capacity for a 2,000-cubic-meter liquefied gas tank? Should it be calculated based on the height coefficient of the spherical tank or the capacity coefficient?
The safe filling volume for liquefied gas cylinders is calculated based on a capacity factor
Design capacity factor for 3000m3 spherical tanks: 0.9 as indicated on the label; generally, we do not exceed 0.85.
Based on the filling capacity, it is generally 85%-95%.
In accordance with GB50160 and SH3007, the upper limit for the filling coefficient of spherical tanks is 90%, and this refers to the volume – that is, the position on the spherical tank where the high liquid level interlock alarm is installed.
