Recommendations for the construction and strength calculation of upright sulfuric acid tanks are given. An evaluation of the possibility of strength and stability calculations of tank shells in accordance with All-Russia State Standard 34233.2 and All-Russia State Standard 34283 is given. Relationships for calculating the thickness of the bottom wall and the rational distance between the longitudinal beams of the frame bottoms as functions of the sulfuric acid fill level (hydrostatic pressure) are presented.
