Although horizontal storage tanks and vertical storage tanks belong to storage tanks, their appearance and application fields are different, so there will be some differences. What is the difference between horizontal and vertical storage tanks? What factors should be considered in the selection? Then compare the capacity, floor area, use, maintenance and other aspects.
Difference between horizontal stainless steel storage tank and vertical storage tank:
Horizontal storage tank is suitable for storage tank with large capacity, while vertical storage tank is suitable for storage tank with small capacity;
The horizontal storage tank occupies a large area, while the vertical storage tank occupies a small area;
3. Wind load shall be considered for the design of vertical storage tank, and not for horizontal storage tank;
4. Bending moment caused by dead weight of horizontal storage tank shall be considered, while vertical storage tank does not;
For most horizontal tanks, the liquid level is low and the design pressure of the cylinder is slightly high, the pressure can be calculated according to GB150, and the static pressure of the liquid column can be ignored. For most vertical tanks, the liquid level is high, and the static pressure of the liquid column cannot be ignored in most cases. PPH storage tank
