What is the pressure range for an Ordinary Cone Roof Tank?

The pressure range for an Ordinary Cone Roof Tank is indeed 0-0.5 psi. These tanks are designed to handle low pressure and are typically used for storing liquids that do not require high pressure for containment. The design of an Ordinary Cone Roof Tank allows for the vapor space above the liquid to be managed, minimizing the risk of vapor release or catastrophic failure.

Ordinary Cone Roof Tanks operate under atmospheric conditions with a slight positive pressure that can be generated due to temperature changes or filling. The 0-0.5 psi range is sufficient to ensure proper operation and safety without exceeding the structural limitations of the tank.

Higher pressure ranges, such as 1-10 psi or 100-500 psi, would apply to different types of tanks designed to contain gases or liquids under elevated pressures, which is not the case for Ordinary Cone Roof Tanks. Understanding the specific pressure guidelines for these tanks is critical for safe operation and compliance with safety regulations.
