[upulsl]

hi peeple I'm a Mechanical Engineer and just passed out from the University. I have project to design a spherical thank for the latex storage(22500 liters). I don't have much experiance in designing storage tanks. So i will be vry gratful if any one can give me some material to learn more in this area. I searched on the internet bt hardly any material regarding spherical tank design.

Thank u

They asked you to design a tank?
Study API620 or API650

What is the design pressure?
And where will the tank be located?

That will determine the design standard or code used, and you can go from there.

In that size range, a cylindrical tank will usually be cheaper.
