How to choose the appropriate thickness of gas cabinet membrane material

Selecting the appropriate gas cabinet membrane thickness is a key step to ensure the performance, safety and economy of the dual-membrane independent gas cabinet. Here are some suggestions on how to select the appropriate gas cabinet membrane thickness:

Ⅰ. Consider the application scenario and needs

1.Small gas storage stations and laboratories:

In these environments, due to the relatively small gas storage volume and extremely high requirements for the safety and stability of the equipment, a thinner membrane thickness, such as 1.2mm to 1.5mm, can be selected.
Such a thickness can not only meet basic storage needs, but also effectively reduce costs, while facilitating installation and maintenance.

2.Medium-sized industrial applications:

For medium-sized industrial applications, such as gas storage and regulation in the chemical, metallurgical and other industries, the membrane thickness usually needs to be increased to 1.5mm to 2.0mm.
This thickness range can better resist the erosion of the external environment, improve the durability of the equipment, and ensure stable performance under long-term, high-load operation.

3.Large gas storage stations and special environments:

In large gas storage stations or special environments (such as extreme climates and highly corrosive areas), the membrane thickness needs to reach 2.0mm to 2.5mm or even higher.
Such a thickness design can significantly improve the equipment's wind pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and safety performance, ensuring stable operation under harsh conditions.

Ⅱ. Consider the physical properties of the membrane

1.Tensile str.ength:

The tensile strength of the membrane is one of the important indicators of its physical properties. Generally, the tensile strength of the membrane ranges from 5000N/5cm to 7000N/5cm.
Choosing a membrane with sufficient tensile strength can ensure that the gas cabinet can withstand various external forces during use, such as wind force, air pressure, etc.

2.Tear strength:

Tear strength is also one of the important indicators of the physical properties of the membrane. Higher tear strength means that the membrane is more difficult to tear when subjected to tearing force.
This helps ensure that the gas cabinet can maintain stability and safety under harsh conditions.

3.Flexibility:

The flexibility of the membrane is also very important for the manufacture and use of the gas cabinet. Membranes with good flexibility can more easily adapt to gas cabinet structures of various shapes and sizes.
At the same time, membranes with good flexibility are also easier to restore to their original shape when subjected to external forces, thereby extending the service life of the gas cabinet.

Ⅲ. Consider cost-effectiveness

1.Material cost:

The thickness of the membrane material is closely related to the cost. Thicker membrane materials are usually more expensive, but have better durability and safety.
When choosing the thickness of the membrane material, it is necessary to weigh the balance between material cost and equipment performance.

2.Maintenance cost:

Thicker membrane materials usually have a longer service life and lower maintenance costs. Because they are less susceptible to damage or aging during long-term use.
This helps to reduce the overall maintenance cost of the gas cabinet and improve the economy of the equipment.

Ⅳ. Refer to industry standards and specifications

1.Industry standards:

When choosing the thickness of the gas cabinet membrane material, you can refer to relevant industry standards or specifications. These standards or specifications usually specify the minimum requirements for the thickness of the membrane material in different application scenarios.
Compliance with these standards or specifications can ensure that the performance and safety of the gas cabinet meet industry requirements.

2.Professional advice:

You can consult professional gas cabinet manufacturers or suppliers for more specific advice. They usually have rich experience and expertise, and can provide customers with suitable membrane thickness recommendations based on actual application scenarios and needs.
Choosing the appropriate gas cabinet membrane thickness requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as application scenarios and needs, physical properties of membrane materials, cost-effectiveness, and industry standards and specifications. By comprehensively evaluating these factors and weighing the pros and cons, you can ensure that you choose a membrane thickness that meets your actual needs and is cost-effective.
