The diagrams below can be used to estimate the size of a closed expansion tank at lower temperatures.
Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit - pressure in psig
- initial temperature 50oF
- initial pressure 10 psig
- maximum operating pressure 30 psig
- safety factor aprox. 2
The diagram below can be used to estimate the size of a closed expansion tank at low temperatures.

For initial and maximum pressures different from above - multiply the tank size with the a correction factor estimated from the diagram below:

Temperature in degrees Celsius- pressure in kPa
- initial temperature 10oC
- initial pressure 70 kPa
- maximum operating pressure 200 kPa
The diagram below can be used to estimate the size of a closed expansion tank at low temperatures.

For initial and maximum pressures different from above - multiply the tank size with the a correction factor estimated from the diagram below:
