They can be used as storage containers for liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, and other media, and can also be used as storage tanks for compressed gas. Compared with vertical cylindrical storage tanks, spherical tanks have the smallest surface area under the same volume and the same pressure, so the required steel area is small. Under the same diameter, the stress in the spherical tank wall is the smallest and uniform, and its bearing capacity is 1 times greater than that of cylindrical containers. Therefore, the plate thickness of the spherical tank only needs half the thickness of the wall plate of the corresponding cylindrical container. In order to facilitate observation of the situation inside the tank, the existing spherical tanks will be equipped with multiple detection tubes such as a level detection tube and a temperature detection tube that go straight from the top of the tank to the bottom of the tank.
