Looking at the water tank that is stored on the roofs of the house, have you ever wondered why its shape is round? Why not square? The special thing is that if you look at the water tank of any city in the world, its shape will be round. There’s also science behind it that says if its shape wasn’t round it wouldn’t have been so successful. Not only that, the straps made in the tank also have a special function. Know, what is the science behind it. (Photo credits: Housing)
The shape of the deposit has been maintained so that it remains safe for a long time. In fact, when you fill anything deep with water, it creates pressure from all sides. Due to this pressure, the risk of its explosion increases because the pressure increases from all directions. Since the tank is not made of metal but of PVC, the danger increases even more. Now let’s understand what is the real reason for this. (Photo credits: Gharpedia)
Science says that if its shape was square, it would have exerted more pressure on each corner, but because of its cylindrical (long round) shape, that pressure is easily distributed. Although this is not possible when it is square. That’s why the shape of the deposit is like this. (Photo Credits: Indiasmart)
Another thing that stands out looking at the tank is the wide stripes in its design. Have you ever wondered what the use of these general lines is? In fact, these lines are very important to the tank. These lines work to reinforce the tank and prevent the tank from expanding during the summer. Apart from this, it helps in controlling the pressure. (Photo credits: OriPlast)
If you ever look at a broken tank, you will see that it is very rare for the part of the tank where the lines are visible to be broken. This happens because they give the tank strength. If the tank becomes flat, the risk of swelling and damage increases. When there are lines, they keep the tank tied and play an important role in supporting the pressure.
