This photograph shows a vertical tank identified in this visual as a microbulk cryogenic tank. External pipework runs around the cylindrical shell, with several valves and fittings visible on the front and near the top. A base frame supports the assembly at ground level.
What to observe
Trace one visible pipe from a fitting to its next connection. Compare the positions of the valves, the pipe supports and the fittings near the top. Notice the space around the base and how the equipment is arranged for access.
Read the visible arrangement
Use this view to practise distinguishing the vessel shell, external pipework and supporting frame. The stored gas, internal insulation, operating pressure, valve functions and foundation design cannot be verified from the photograph alone.
