Abstract

The strength of liquefied petroleum gas tank is related to production safety. In this paper, aiming at the structural strength of a 50m³ liquefied petroleum gas tank, ANSYS software is used for modeling and strength solving, and the strength of the spherical tank pillar is calculated. The results show that the strength of the liquefied petroleum gas tank meets the design strength standard and is safe.
