Design and Construction Standards
AIXBOILER storage tanks are fabricated according to recognized codes:
- Primary Standards: GB150/151 (China), ASME Section VIII (optional), PED 2014/68/EU, API 650/620 for atmospheric tanks
- Welding & Inspection: Full penetration welds, 100% NDT (RT/UT/MT/PT)
- Heads: Elliptical, torispherical, or conical for pressure distribution
- Surface Treatment: Internal Ra ≤ 0.8 μm polishing (sanitary); external anti-corrosion coating
Finite element analysis (FEA) verifies integrity under operational loads.
Types of Storage Tanks
- Atmospheric tanks for non-pressurized media
- Pressurized tanks for gases/liquids under pressure
- Insulated thermal tanks for hot water/thermal fluid
