Selection of design standards for a storage tank with a diameter of 1.6 m and a height of 5 m
Thread Content
An oxidation tank with a diameter of 1.6 m and a height of 5 m, operating at a pressure of 6 KPa and designed for a pressure of 60 KPa (0.06 MPa). Its bottom structure is similar to that of a flat-bottomed tank, while the top part is designed either according to the conical roof design specified in API620 or according to the elliptical head design outlined in NB/T47003.1 for atmospheric-pressure vessels. Thank you all!
With a diameter of 1.6 meters, an oval head is naturally used, as it is simple and quick to implement.
Since the diameter is not large, it’s better to use an oval head!
Tip: As long as it remains within the standard limits, design it as simply as possible
A sealed head structure is recommended, as it is more reliable.
The design should require the installation of an overpressure relief device; a cone tip would also work.
Elliptical end caps offer better load-bearing capacity.
