How tall is the cylindrical storage tank?
Thread Content
Due to process improvements, several storage tanks were ordered from different manufacturers; they are cylindrical in shape with a top cover. For example, the tank with specifications of φ2000×2500 – does this height of 2500 refer to the distance from the bottom of the tank to the highest point of the cover, or to the distance from the bottom of the tank to the very top of the cylinder (the lowest point of the top cover)?
Total height, including the height of the head.
Most of the time, we refer to the straight section. Is a 2-meter storage tank with an elliptical head a pressure vessel?
It generally refers to the total height; if it refers to the cylinder, it should be specified separately...
It’s better to ask the manufacturer for the drawings.

I use it very rarely; if I were to design it, the internal dimensions would be an inner diameter of 2000, an internal height of 2500. Adding the end caps, 2000/4 = 500, so the total internal height would be 3000. Am I too unconventional?
Are we kind of alike in that sense? :lol That’s exactly what I do; otherwise, if the length of the straight section is an \"integer other than 1\", like 2135, it’s difficult to cut it properly. Also, you used the height as the diameter; the height of the head is: diameter/4 + 25.
It has been modified; aside from reissuing certificates, almost no container work is done. However, it seems I forgot to consider the straight edge section of the head; is this straight edge section included within 2500?
It’s not within 2500; the straight edge section of the head is present from the moment the head is formed.
Thank you all for your helpful responses. We are carrying out modifications; due to the limitation of the floor height (2.2 meters), we decided to use a fiberglass storage tank with a height of 1.7 meters. As a result, the height of the straight tube, together with the upper cover and the N-shaped vent located in the center of the cover, exceeds 2.5 meters. It’s not possible to modify the fiberglass storage tank, and destroying the floor would involve three beams, which would create quite a problem.
