Anonymous Poster	Designing a Spherical Tank for LPG 02/18/2009 10:16 AM
	I have two questions for you about the design calculation of LPG spherical tank.. 1. Which standard that should i applied for this kind of internal pressure? (ASME 8 div 1 or 2). I have read about the internal pressure limit of div 1, which is 3000 psi. But The existing project (has the same internal pressure with mine) is refer to ASME 8 div 2. Then which one should i take? 2. In nozzle calculation, are there any differences between the formula in calculating nozzle thickness in spherical tank and in cylindrical tank? Thank you very much for your kind attention. Your prompt reply is really expected..

	You should be extremely cautious about soliciting recommendations on a forum -- any forum -- when a very real possibility exists that you may receive unqualified advice. If you then act on this advice and use it in your design, you could be in for an explosive -- and fatal -- surprise. One visitor asked about bolt torques for an aircraft engine mount. Instead of following published guidelines, he came here for his information. Now let me ask you, would you fly in a plane serviced by that guy? I wouldn't. Not even. My suggestion? Go to known, qualified experts for your information. Don't get it here.

	Selection of the governing code depends first on the governing rules of the country/province and second on the owner request. And I agree my friend europium in his statement: Go to known, qualified experts for your information. Don't get it here. __________________ It is better to be defeated on principles, than to win on lies!
