This page explains how Air Receiver Tank is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A pressure vessel that stores compressed air from the compressor to stabilize system pressure and provide a reserve supply.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Air Receiver Tank
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Working Pressure | 8–12 bar | 8–12 — Design pressure per ASME code; higher pressures up to 20 bar available on request.ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 |
| Capacity | 500–10000 L | 500–10000 — Effective volume; size selection depends on compressor output and demand profile. |
| Material of Construction | Carbon Steel (SA-516 Gr.70) or Stainless Steel (SA-240 304/316L) | Carbon Steel (SA-516 Gr.70) or Stainless Steel (SA-240 304/316L) — Carbon steel for standard applications; stainless for corrosive or hygienic environments.ASTM A516/A240 |
| Wall Thickness | 6–20 mm | 6–20 — Calculated based on pressure, diameter, and material; minimum thickness per code.ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 |
| Inlet/Outlet Connection Size | 1–4 inch | 1–4 — Flanged or threaded; size depends on flow rate and pipe diameter.ASME B16.5 |
| Design Temperature | -10–+60 °C | -10 to +60 — Ambient operating range; higher temperatures require derating or special materials.ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 |
| Corrosion Allowance | 1–3 mm | 1–3 — Additional thickness to account for corrosion; depends on environment and service life.ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 |
| Surface Finish | Internal: 0.8–1.6 μm Ra; External: painted or galvanized μm | Internal: 0.8–1.6 μm Ra; External: painted or galvanized — Internal finish for cleanliness; external coating for corrosion protection.ISO 8501-1 |
| Duty Cycle | Continuous | Continuous — Designed for continuous operation; cyclic service may require fatigue analysis. |
| Service Life | 20–30 years | 20–30 — Design life; subject to inspection and maintenance per local regulations.ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1 |
| Pressure | 8–12 bar | 8–12 bar — Outside this window: Overpressure can cause rupture; underpressure reduces reserve capacity. |
| Temperature | -10–+60 °C | -10 to +60 °C — Outside this window: Exceeding temperature may degrade material properties; below -10°C may cause brittle fracture. |
| Ambient Humidity | 0–95% RH non-condensing | 0–95% RH non-condensing — Outside this window: Condensation can cause internal corrosion and water in air lines. |
| Flow Rate | Up to 1000 L/min | Up to 1000 L/min — Outside this window: Excessive flow may cause pressure drop and inadequate reserve. |

An air receiver tank stores compressed air, stabilizes system pressure, dampens pulsations, and provides a reserve for peak demand, reducing compressor cycling and protecting downstream equipment.
Common materials are carbon steel (SA-516 Gr.70) for standard applications and stainless steel (SA-240 304/316L) for corrosive or hygienic environments, as per ASTM A516/A240.
Design and fabrication typically follow ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1, with connections per ASME B16.5 and surface preparation per ISO 8501-1. Always verify compliance with the manufacturer.
Size selection depends on compressor output and demand profile. Consider capacity (500–10000 L), working pressure (8–12 bar), and flow rate (up to 1000 L/min). Consult the manufacturer for model-specific recommendations.
