The force distribution is uniform; under the same wall thickness conditions, the spherical tank has the highest load-bearing capacity. Under the same internal pressure conditions, the wall thickness required for a spherical container is only half of that required for a cylindrical container of the same diameter and materia
Spherical containers, also known as spherical tanks, have a spherical shell and are an effective and economical pressure vessel for storing and transporting various gases, liquids, and liquefied gases.
Scope of application: Widely used in the fields of chemical industry, petroleum, oil refining, shipbuilding, and urban gas industry.
Main advantages: Compared with cylindrical containers, the main advantages of spherical tanks are: uniform stress distribution; under the same wall thickness conditions, spherical tanks have the highest load-bearing capacity; under the same internal pressure conditions, the wall thickness required for spherical containers is only 1/2 of that for cylindrical containers of the same diameter and material (excluding corrosion allowance); under the same volume conditions, spherical containers have the smallest surface area, and due to factors such as small wall thickness and surface area, they generally save 30% to 40% of steel compared to cylindrical containers. The main disadvantage is that manufacturing and construction are relatively complex.
