What is a Pressure Tank?!
The pressure tank is defined as follows: The container that is made to store liquids or gases at a pressure higher than the outside pressure is called a pressure vessel. Pressure vessels are everywhere, from homes to refineries, they are used.
Principles of Inspection of Pressure Tanks
Today, pressure tanks are widely used in the industry, so that in oil and gas, petrochemical, refineries and power plants, these tanks have a vital role. There are different types of pressure tanks, from simple models that are used to store compressed air (compressor source) to more advanced models that are used in refineries. They are designed differently and this design is done based on their use. Generally, the overall appearance of pressure vessels is similar and they have cylindrical or spherical bodies, which are made in this way due to the reduction of stress concentration.
Types of Pressure Tanks
1) Storage tank: Storage tank is the most common type of pressure tank that is produced in different types and shapes and is made to store liquids and gases under pressure. These tanks are usually made of low carbon steel and their insides are covered by another metal called coating. 2) Heat exchanger: pressure tanks of the type After storage tanks, heat exchangers are the most widely used type of tank. This type of tanks are used in production processes that require cooling and heating in order to reach another product. These types of tanks are mostly used in the production of chemicals. 3) Process vessels: Process vessels are the proposed name for pressure vessels that carry out a production operation inside a controlled enclosure. This process can include combining, separating and homogenizing materials.
