Safe use of LPG storage tanks
Our tanks are produced in strict accordance with national standards and have strict requirements on the filling volume.In LPG storage tanks at room temperature and pressure, in gas-liquid equilibrium, the gaseous pressure is the saturated vapour pressure at the current temperature, so the density of the gaseous state in the container increases as the temperature rises.
Our tanks are produced in strict accordance with national standards and have strict requirements on the filling volume.In LPG storage tanks at room temperature and pressure, in gas-liquid equilibrium, the gaseous pressure is the saturated vapour pressure at the current temperature, so the density of the gaseous state in the container increases as the temperature rises.Therefore, in the operation of LPG storage systems, special attention should be paid to the special phenomenon caused by the relative density of the gaseous state for safe production, safe use and safe transportation.
This significant expansion with increasing temperature is a characteristic that must be observed in the safe use and management of LPG. Whether it is an LPG storage tank, tank or cylinder, sufficient space must be left for the gaseous phase when filling.
If the tank is overfilled, or even completely filled, the pressure will rise by 2,04 MPa for every 1 °C rise in temperature, which exceeds the pressure limit of the LPG tank, and if the temperature rises by a further 5 °C, this will result in over-pressurisation of the tank itself. Therefore, the filling speed at the permissible filling ratio must not be exceeded when filling
