Are flexible connections required for the inlet and outlet of liquefied gas cylinders?
Generally, hoses or bellows are not required; natural pipeline compensation is used in the design, and stress analysis is needed
As far as can be seen, none of the spherical tanks have flexible connections, and relevant standards do not require such things either.
Whether flexible connections are required for the inlet and outlet of liquefied gas cylinders depends on specific design requirements, operating pressure, piping connection methods, and safety considerations. In some cases, flexible connections can improve the stability and safety of the system ； But in other cases, flexible connections may not be necessary or suitable. Therefore, various factors need to be considered comprehensively during design and selection in order to choose the most suitable connection method.
