Pressure Tank Design

This lecture covers the design considerations for pressure tanks, focusing on the selection of materials, wall thickness, and structural integrity. The instructor discusses the importance of choosing materials that can withstand static pressure, fatigue, and crack presence. Various materials such as stainless steel, composites, and polymers are evaluated based on their properties. The lecture also delves into the criteria for determining the optimal wall thickness to ensure the tank's safety and efficiency. Additionally, the testing procedures for pressure tanks, including pressurization and deformation measurements, are explained to ensure the tanks meet safety standards.
