Question:

How long is the gas tank? What structure?

There are two gas cylinders at home, a long time no use, and one of them have been put down for more than a year... The bottom of the gas tank is out of paint.. Very worried! I don't know if it will be a problem I'd like to know a little bit about the knowledge! Thank you!

Answer:

The gas tank is transportable pressure vessel steel, with explosion danger, it is only about 2.5 mm wall thickness (cylinder wall thickness calibration), very thin, it all the time under pressure from internal media generated during normal use of internal pressure (pressure) from 0.5 to 1 trillion and 200 billion Pascal ($from 5 to 12 kg / cm2), the cross section will be 1000 kilograms of tension.
Gas tankNow often used in the home life of liquid gas, we commonly known as the gas tank is a liquid gas loaded containers.In order to safety, buy gas tank must go to the standard inflatable point to buy. In order to reduce the corrosion degree of the inner wall of the gas tank and prolong the service life of the gas tank, it is necessary to inflate the gas charging point. The gas tank near the stove, heating, fire and heat, it is prone to gas explosion, so the gas tank and stove to keep more than one meter distance, the parts of the gas tank should always check, to prevent air leakage.
The gas tank in the long-term filling, transport and use process by collision, exposure, corrosion damage will produce fatigue cracks and pits, variant, corrosion thinning and other defects, these defects are the direct cause of explosion. Have you ever seen a gas tank explosion?Gas tank explosion, instantaneous two damage will occur, the beginning of the tank rupture is a physical explosion, liquefied petroleum gas instantly expanded from 250 to 300 times into the gas, resulting in shock waves, especially mine explosion. A gaseous petroleum gas rapidly mixed with air, when the concentration in the air is reduced to 3 ~ 11%, in case of fire, will produce a chemical explosion, the gas explosion combustion, generated waves, huge impact damage life, burning property, destruction of the building, brought two disaster, if the explosive gas inhalation that will make the respiratory tract and lung tissue damage, so terrible.
