# Industrial Specification: Liquid Storage Tank

## 1. Technical Definition
A container that stores liquid for continuous supply to the filling process.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-2.5 bar gauge pressure, 5-60°C temperature**. Failure boundary: **Yield stress of 250 MPa for carbon steel (ASTM A36) at wall thickness ≤12 mm**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation from hoop stress exceeding material yield strength, calculated by σ_h = (P × D)/(2t) where P=internal pressure, D=tank diameter, t=wall thickness**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
| t | Wall Thickness | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Corrosion rate exceeding 0.5 mm/year due to chloride concentration &gt;200 ppm | 8 | Wall thickness reduction below minimum design thickness of 6 mm | Install cathodic protection system with -0.85 V vs. Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode potential |
| Thermal cycling between 20°C and 80°C at &gt;5 cycles/hour | 8 | Fatigue crack initiation at weld seams after 10^5 cycles | Implement expansion joints with 15 mm movement capacity and post-weld heat treatment at 600°C for 2 hours |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are recommended for beverage liquid storage tanks?
**A**: Stainless steel grades like SS304 or SS316 are ideal for durability and hygiene, while food-grade plastics like polyethylene offer cost-effective options for non-corrosive beverages.

### Q: How do level sensors improve beverage storage tank efficiency?
**A**: Level sensors provide real-time inventory monitoring, prevent overfilling or running dry, and enable automated supply chain management for continuous filling processes.

### Q: Why are cleaning ports important in beverage storage tanks?
**A**: Manholes and cleaning ports allow thorough sanitation to meet food safety standards, prevent contamination, and maintain beverage quality during storage.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
