| 温度 (℃) | 蒸気圧 (バー) | Relative Internal Stress (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 34 | 55 |
| 10 | 45 | 68 |
| 20 | 57 | 82 |
| 30 | 73 | 96 |
| 40 | 96 | 115 |
A slight 温度 jump demands a significantly higher 圧力定格, making hot storage hazardous.
Role of gas purity in maintaining consistent burst strength
高い CO2 純度 (≥99.9%) prevents moisture contamination. Trace impurities cause internal micro-pitting, accelerating 材料疲労 and lowering 破裂強度. Clean gas ensures steady 圧力の一貫性.
Importance of pressure relief and DOT regulations
Safety design utilizes a layered approach:
