Dear Team Member .

I am design Engineer and ,I want to design a horizontal storage air tank of operating pressure in 200 bar.
please suggest me .how to calculate design of this tank .I want to use this tank in my workshop for pressure safety valve testing purpose .This tank will be connected to the booster pump .


please give suggestion .

I am waiting of your response .

The 200 bar pressure of an "Air Tank" is actually a pressure vessel. The ASME Code Section VIII Div.1 can be used for the design and fabrication for your "tank".
 
Best solution: Locate a fabricator that routinely does this kind of work (including work at similar pressures) and buy the tank complete from them.
You can buy some small bottles/tanks in that pressure range ready-made, if those would fulfill your needs. It looks like they are used for paintball guns, breathing apparatus, etc.
The basic calculations for the tank thickness is not that involved, but the requirements for nozzle reinforcing, toughness requirements, etc., get more involved. A tank of this pressure is highly hazardous if it ruptures, so not something to learn on.
 
We're not part of your team and don't be inpatient " waiting for your response"

The posters above are correct. Design it yourself with no experience and you will likely die when the"tsnk" explodes.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

This tank is so small that one would not "design" the tank, but purchase one that has been already designed and prefabricated.

However, before ordering an air tank, you have to first determine the process requirements so that the tank may be sized:
