tank capacity concept

①nominal capacity

it refers to the capacity expressed as an integer calculated based on the geometric dimensions of the storage tank and rounded. typically, the nominal capacity is less than the calculated capacity.

②computing ability

refers to the capacity calculated based on the geometric dimensions of the storage tank. the calculated capacity is πr2h (r is the inner radius of the tank; h is the tank wall height).

③storage capacity

refers to the maximum capacity that the tank can actually store. the calculated capacity minus the unusable capacity in the upper part of the tank is the storage capacity. the storage capacity is πr2h1 (r is the inner radius of the storage tank; h1 is the maximum liquid level).

④effective capacity

also known as working capacity, it refers to the capacity between the highest allowable working liquid level and the lowest allowable working liquid level in the storage tank. it is an important parameter in determining the nominal capacity of the tank. the effective capacity is πr2(h1-h2) (r is the inner radius of the tank, h1 is the maximum allowable working liquid level, and h2 is the minimum allowable working liquid level).
