Do any one have an idea about mounded lpg storage spheres .. design and fabrication ??

[Art Montemayor]

What do you mean by "mounded"??  Do you mean diked?  mounted?  moulded?

 

Please give us more information on what you need, what you are going to use it for (like the pressure and temperature of the LPG as well as its total capacity), and some background information.   That will expedite a quick answer to your query.

I presume that the subject is regarding storage vessels that are mounded with earth to eliminate exposure to any fire caused by a spill or leak. It's quite common to mound cylindrical vessels, but not so spheres. If one examines the cost of containers, one can install multiple "bullets" for less cost than for shperes. Covering with earth does not impact the vessel design. However, the exterior must be protected against corrosion from the buried environment, much like a buried pipeline.

Dear sir (Art Montemayor),

Mounded spheres, Means spheres beneath water level (under earth buried with sand sand) to reduce fire fighting and safety issues.

 

Dear Bobby strain,

I know a lot about mounded bullets, how to design it how to calculate stresses, but if you sir know anything about mounded pressurized spheres calculation or design or even theoretical data, I will be thankful.
