Spherical tanks and vertical tanks are two mainstream types of equipment in the industrial storage field. Due to differences in their structural designs, they have distinct roles in terms of storage efficiency and suitable media. The selection of either type must be based on a comprehensive assessment of media characteristics, site conditions, and cost budgets.

As core equipment for storing flammable, explosive, or high-pressure media in the chemical and energy sectors, the safety inspection of spherical storage tanks is directly related to production safety. Three key links—wall thickness testing, weld inspection, and pressure testing—must be closely monitored, with strict adherence to standardized procedures to identify potential risks.

Wall thickness testing serves as the foundation for evaluating tank corrosion and structural strength, requiring a combination of "comprehensive sampling + focused monitoring".

The selection and design of spherical tanks must focus on safe storage, integrating medium characteristics, actual storage requirements, and regulatory standards. Precise control of three key links—medium adaptation, volume calculation, and pressure rating matching—is essential to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
