Safety Comparison of Horizontal vs. Spherical Tanks 1. Pressure Management: Spherical: Superior. The spherical shape provides a uniform distribution of internal stress, eliminating weak points like corners and allowing for a thinner wall while handling high pressures more effectively Horizontal: Effective. but less efficient than spheres. Requires thicker walls to manage pressure as stress can concentrate more at the curved ends and along the length compared to a sphere. 2. Capacity & Use Spheri
