The pressure inside a tank pushes equally on all sides of the tank. Thus a tank must be designed to provide resistance to the force of a solid, liquid, or gas pushing against it. For high-pressure gases, the strongest tank shape is a sphere. Because the gas pushes on all points, the spherical shape is maintained, with no point receiving any more force than any other point on the round ball. Because round ball tanks are impractical to build, ship, and mount, the shape is often further refined into a cylinder with domed ends. The round part of the cylinder still resists pressure, but it is easier to build, haul, and set in place than a round ball. The ends of the cylinder are domed to continue the arched design, so that they have maximum resistance to pressure.

Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest

Can high pressure paintball tanks be used on a low pressure marker?
Unless you have certain Angel models, High pressure air is fine.
How does the structure arteries enable them to withstand high pressure?
The heart is awesome. it pumps the blood and fills the arteries making them high in blood pressure. --3

How does the structure of the arteries enable them to withstand high pressure?
Arteries are able to withstand the enormous pressure of blood as it is pumped by the heart and to expand and relax between heart beats.
What is special about the test tube?
it is made under high temperature and pressure so it can withstand heat
Do ions need nitrogen tanks?
Yes, they require High pressure air (nitrogen) tanks. They cannot run off of CO2.
Why are submarines built of hard thick sheets of metal?
To withstand high water pressure when they are submerged at sea.
Where is the fuel pump on a 1987 f 150 with duel gas tanks?
fuel tanks there is a low pressure fuel pump in each tank, and a high pressure on in frame rail on drivers side after fuel filter.
What ventricle has the thickest wall and why?
left ventricles . as it pump blood to the aorta it needs a high pressure to take blood all over the body . left ventricle is thick as it needs a high pressure to pump blood and to withstand that pressure.
Why are aircraft cabins pressurized to 8000ft and not 0ft?
The fuselage of most aircraft is not strong enough to withstand that pressure. The air pressure is very low at high altitudes, and if the inside pressure was set to 0 ft (an extremely high pressure), the fuselage would burst.
What tank does a spyder electra LT use?
any Co2 tank and high pressure HPA tanks.
