tank design
- Thread starter simboti
- Start date
In order to make this decision, describe the structural shape of the enclosure. Depending on the ratio of surface area from the side to the bottom for example, you can determine if if the tank is supporting the most vulnerable members. Can you internally brace the large sides??? I have never used shear in trying to create a non-pressure vessel type enclosure of this application.
For such a small tank, why not just buy one?
Is it open-top, pressure vessel, plastic, metal, lined, heated, insulated, flat-bottom or with legs, for corrosive liquid, stirred, etc.?
