Several things affect the total cost:
- Standard vs. Custom Tanks: Standard models cost less and are quicker to get. Custom tanks are more expensive due to extra design and materials.
- Pressure rating: 6 bar operating pressure is normal designed by most consulting engineer. However, it still can be increased to 10 bar.
- Material Choice: Stainless steel costs more than carbon steel but offers better corrosion resistance.
- Size: Larger tanks require more materials and cost more to build and ship.
- Features: Insulation, internal flow control, high-pressure ratings, and special coatings add to cost.
- Lead Times: Fast delivery may cost more or limit design options.
