What is the typical component secured to the ASME tank?

The typical component secured to the ASME tank is the frame. ASME tanks, which are designed in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards, usually require a robust frame to support and stabilize the tank during operation and transport. The frame ensures that the tank remains secure and can adequately bear the weight and stress associated with the tank's contents, as well as external environmental factors.

Choosing a frame as the secured component highlights the importance of structural integrity in the design and application of pressure vessels. Proper framing not only enhances safety but also complies with regulatory requirements, making it essential for the tank's longevity and reliability.

Other components, while critical to the tank's functionality, such as regulators, hoses, and pressure gauges, are typically connected to the tank rather than being secured to it in the same way. Regulators control the pressure of the gases or liquids, hoses facilitate the transfer of fluids, and pressure gauges monitor the internal conditions, but these components do not provide the foundational support required for the tank's operation.
