Abstract
Recently, the gas transportation system for CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) has been developed and several innovative approaches are presented from the aspects of commercial demand. In this study, a new type of 20ft container shape CNG tank with two and four cylinder intersections by using the intersecting spheres has been proposed. And the structural analysis of CNG tank with Mildsteel, API High Tensile Steel, Al-alloy and FRP has been carried out to compare the different types of pressure vessels of materials used. The analysis result shows that the proposed intersectional cylindrical type of CNG tank can be applied to the gas transportation system. And further study on the commercial analysis and associated equipments should be carried out for the practical applications.
