Pressurised LPG / butane storage sphere on tangent equator legs. UG-27(d) shell with orange-peel plate seams, concrete-fireproofed legs on pedestals, offset diagonal tie rods with turnbuckles, top and bottom polar manways, bottom inlet and outlet, radar gauge, twin API 526 PSVs into a relief header, top platform, a straight stair tangent to the shell continuing as a curved stair over the top, and a deluge riser with a spray ring.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add spherical-tank

Copies vessels/spherical-tank.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { SphericalTank } from './components/deck-twin/vessels/spherical-tank'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <SphericalTank />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

A circle standing on legs that touch it at the equator, with top and bottom nozzles; often with a water-spray (deluge) ring drawn around it.

Circle on legs = sphere. A circle on its own in a line could be a pump or an instrument bubble: check for legs and size.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info spherical-tank

Or fetch /r/spherical-tank.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "LPG sphere" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add spherical-tank` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info spherical-tank` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <SphericalTank /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
