  • ABSTRACT: Storages or transmission tanks as a pressure vessel are important engineering equipments and appear in various areas. The main goal of this study is to propose a simple method to solve, with minimum effort and acceptable reasonable accuracy, the problem of designing a storage vessel subjected to uniform internal pressure by using a commercial program. For this purpose the COMPRESS program, which is preferred for obtaining quick results in the design of this type of tank, has been introduced in detailed, and the design makes use of this program and also meets the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels Division 1 standards. Then the use of stainless steel and carbon steel which is preferred in general in the construction of tanks for full and spot radiographic control was performed. For this purpose a storage tank has been designed for 10atm of internal pressure and a temperature of 120oC and capacity of 1500 lt.
