Description
The horizontal design makes the tank easy to install on a concrete foundation. It also provides stable support, convenient inspection access, and efficient use of available space. Compared with vertical LPG tanks, a horizontal LPG storage tank is often preferred for ground-mounted LPG stations and large-scale gas storage projects.
Main Specifications of 50cbm Horizontal LPG Storage Tank
A standard 50cbm Horizontal LPG Storage Tank is usually manufactured from high-strength pressure vessel steel, such as Q345R or SA516 Gr.70. These materials offer good strength, welding performance, and pressure resistance. The tank shell is designed and manufactured according to relevant pressure vessel standards, including ASME, GB150, ADR, or other local regulations.
Typical specifications may include:
- Capacity: 50 cubic meters
- Medium: LPG, propane, butane, or propane-butane mixture
- Design pressure: 1.77 MPa to 2.16 MPa
- Working pressure: Normally below the design pressure
- Tank material: Q345R, SA516 Gr.70, or customized pressure vessel steel
- Tank type: Horizontal cylindrical pressure vessel
- Filling ratio: Usually no more than 85%
- Service life: More than 15 years with proper maintenance
- Surface treatment: Sandblasting, anti-corrosion primer, and top coating
The actual tank dimensions can be customized based on customer requirements. A common 50cbm LPG storage tank may have a diameter of approximately 2,600 mm to 2,800 mm and a total length of around 9,000 mm to 11,000 mm.
Safe and Durable Tank Structure
Safety is one of the most important factors in LPG storage. LPG is stored under pressure and can expand quickly when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, every 50cbm Horizontal LPG Storage Tank should be equipped with reliable safety accessories.
Common accessories include safety valves, pressure gauges, temperature gauges, liquid level gauges, emergency shut-off valves, inlet and outlet valves, drain valves, and manholes. These components help operators monitor tank pressure, LPG volume, and temperature during daily operation.
The tank body is produced through automatic welding processes. After welding, the tank is tested by non-destructive testing methods such as radiographic testing or ultrasonic testing. Hydrostatic pressure testing and air tightness testing are also carried out before delivery to ensure there are no leaks.
