The tank shell provides structural containment for molten materials, maintaining pressure integrity and preventing leaks while withstanding thermal and mechanical stresses.
Common materials include stainless steel (316L, 304L) for corrosion resistance and carbon steel (SA-516) for high-strength applications, with thicknesses typically ranging from 10-50mm.
Design features include expansion joints, proper material selection with compatible thermal expansion coefficients, and calculated clearance allowances to prevent stress buildup during temperature cycles.
