Large vertical tanks are capable of storing large quantities of liquid media and can store some alcohols. Small vertical tanks are generally used as intermediate product tanks. Large horizontal tanks are mainly used for storing gases and liquids with low pressure, such as liquefied petroleum gas, and small ones are mainly used for metering and refrigeration. Spherical, can be stored in a larger capacity, but the pressure of the liquid, such as ethylene, liquefied petroleum gas.

 Vertical storage tanks and horizontal storage tanks, they are different types of storage tanks, are used to store the solution of the container, they are different in shape and application scope, there are differences.

 Vertical storage tanks, it is mainly applied to the capacity is relatively small, horizontal applicable to the capacity is relatively large. Vertical tanks, because it is upright, so the footprint is relatively small. Horizontal tanks occupy a large area.

 Vertical tanks need to consider wind loads, while horizontal does not. Horizontal tanks need to take into account the bending distance generated by the weight of the tank, and vertical tanks do not.

 Horizontal tanks, most of the liquid height is lower, the cylinder design pressure is slightly larger can be GB150 regulations Calculation pressure can be ignored column static pressure, vertical tanks, most of the liquid height is higher, in most cases can not be ignored column static pressure.

 Horizontal tank volume is generally less than 100m3, usually used in the production chain or gas station. Horizontal tanks are welded with lap welds in the circumferential direction and butt welds in the longitudinal direction. The rings are arranged interactively, taking an odd number, so that the end caps are of the same diameter.

 Horizontal tank end caps are divided into flat end caps and dished end caps. Flat end caps can withstand 40kPa internal pressure and dished end caps can withstand 0.2Mpa internal pressure. Horizontal underground storage tanks should be set up to strengthen the ring, strengthened with angle steel simmering made.
