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.

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.
