Tank Design

Hello, I want to design two tanks for a chemical product knowing that I only have the following two data : 


Tank 1: 800 mm diameter steel for a 500 litre tank 

Tank 2: steel diameter 1000 mm for a 1000 liter tank

 How can I determine the thickness of the sheet metal and the height of the tank?.?

thank you in advance

Already know the chemical 

to know which materials to use

know if the tanks or tank are horizontal or vertical

placed on legs or cradles

if these tanks are fixed or transportable

See the coefficient of expansion of the product (volume)

Venting or not

double skins or not (hazardousness of the product)

calculate the volume of the container knowing the volume of the contents and the diameter of the container.

This is a good way to start calculating volume

In addition there are the stories of several appearances, the principle of the retention tank etc...  

Steel alone is not a corrosive chemical then.

To determine the thicknesses,  it is necessary to know what the stresses will be to which the tank will be subjected. Pressure, Hydrostatic Pressure, Temperature, Acceleration etc.

For the thickness:

- What pressure, liquid/powder/gas product?

- If corrosive product, what lifespan for the tank?

For the height (=length of ferrule?) what type of domed bottom?

In addition to the previous answers

There is also a post tutorial that calculates the volume in car

http://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/3d/solidworks-calcul-de-volume-contenu-juillet-2012

you just have to create your piece and via boolean operations it gives you the volume
