摘要：Finite element method has been used to analysis the stress of inner pipes of low temperature storage tank for LNG caused by temperature, pressure and weight. Filling liquid state, storing liquid state and unloading liquid state are considered in this paper. The results show that the stress of the top pipes would be the largest under filling liquid state which is only little larger than storing liquid state. The stress of the bottom pipes would be the largest under storing liquid state. The deformation of the inner container of the tank would influence the stress distribution. Choosing a flexible structure as designing the bottom pipes is reasonable.
