Storage tanks are containers used for handling or storing materials and are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, brewing, dairy, chemical and other industrial fields. When customizing storage tanks, you need to design a suitable tank according to its use, and the thickness of the tank is related to the volume of the tank, raw materials, specific gravity, pressure, temperature, corrosiveness of the contained material, environmental conditions and other factors. So, how to determine the tank

thickness of the tank?

1, the volume of the tank factor. The larger the volume, the thicker the planning tank than the tank volume to be thicker. Quantitative thickness after theoretical calculations or experience.

2, the raw material factor of the tank. Sub-metal and non-metal, storage tank raw materials into metal and non-metal. Strength of metal storage tanks than poor strength of non-metallic storage tank thickness to fall some. There are certain conditions, there is a certain thickness of corrosion each year, and therefore planning tank thickness, in addition to ensuring the working conditions of the tank's fundamental thickness (equipment theory accounting), but also add the tank planning life

The corrosion thickness and margin.

3. The pressure factor of the tank. The greater the working pressure, the greater the planned tank thickness. Among the metal tanks to accept pressure can be larger. Non-metallic tanks accept smaller pressures or can only be used at atmospheric pressure. The thickness of the tank is based on different volumes, materials, specific gravity, pressure, through theoretical calculations or experience.

4. Temperature factor of the storage tank. High temperature - the general selection of metal storage tanks and metal lining, the greater the working temperature of the tank, planning with the material should be temperature-resistant, tank thickness is thicker than normal temperature. Non-metallic storage tanks

Plastic acceptance temperature is smaller.

5. Corrosion factors of the installed materials. Corrosion, a certain amount of constant corrosion each year, the tank thickness to thicken, thicken the thickness of the life of the corrosion thickness. Corrosion but only corrosive surface (occurrence of blocking layer), tank thickness should also be thickened. The specific amount of thickness added after the experience gained.

6. Environmental conditions of the factors. The main storage tank exterior corrosion problems, metal storage tanks in corrosive conditions and natural environment, such as poor paint or not regularly painted, the tank exterior will also corrode. Thus, poor environmental conditions of storage tanks, tank thickness also need to be added.

7. Other factors. According to the structure of the tank and the process, the mechanics of the load-bearing parts also need to be partially thickened and strengthened, such as horizontal tanks two heads than the tank body to thicken, the reason for the head spinning will become book. The bottom of the flat bottom of the tank should also be thickened, because the bottom pressure, the bottom can not paint maintenance.
