Air tank recommended service life

The recommended service life of an air storage tank depends on a number of factors, including the type of tank, design, materials of manufacture, environment of use, and maintenance.

Generally speaking, gas storage tanks for industrial use are usually made of high-strength steel or composite materials, and undergo strict manufacturing and testing procedures, and their service life is generally about 10 years. However, this is not absolute. If the gas storage tank is damaged, aged or other problems during use, it needs to be replaced in time to ensure safe use.

In addition, for gas storage tanks with less than 1 cubic meter, they are usually simple pressure vessels with a validity period of 7 years. Such gas storage tanks do not need to be registered, and the inspection of accessories shall be carried out according to the regulations of the local quality supervision bureau. For gas storage tanks with a cubic meter of more than 10 kilograms, it is necessary to apply for inspection at the local quality inspection office, apply for a registration certificate for the use of special equipment, and be installed by a unit with installation qualifications.

During the service life of the gas tank, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections according to its pressure level and service life. Only after obtaining the inspection report can the gas tank be safely put into use. Especially in the middle and end of the service life of the gas storage tank, more detailed and strict inspection and testing are needed.

In general, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the gas storage tank, the user should strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions and conduct regular inspections and maintenance. For gas storage tanks that exceed the recommended service life, if you still want to continue to use them, you need to go to the Quality Supervision Bureau for inspection, and they can continue to use them after passing the inspection. If the test fails, it is not allowed to be used.
