Storage Tank
Type 1000
Processing customization
The main components of a storage tank are the tank body and the tank cover. The tank body is usually welded from steel plates and has sufficient strength and sealing performance. The tank cover is used to cover the top of the tank body to prevent foreign substances from entering the stored substances.

1. Product Description
Storage tanks are usually composed of tank bodies, accessories and supporting structures. The tank body is the main part for storing fluids. Accessories include inlet and outlet pipes, valves, level gauges, pressure gauges, etc., which are used for fluid entry, exit, measurement and control. Storage tanks are made of various materials, including metals (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), non-metals (such as plastics, ceramics, fiberglass, etc.) and metal-non-metal composite materials (such as steel-lined plastics, steel-lined fiberglass, etc.) to meet the requirements of different fluid characteristics and use environments.
The design of storage tanks needs to consider factors such as the properties of the fluid, storage volume, pressure, temperature, safety, and environmental protection. Its manufacturing process includes multiple links such as material preparation, molding, welding, assembly, and inspection to ensure the quality and safety of storage tanks.2. Specifications
The specifications of storage tanks vary depending on the stored fluid, the use environment and customer needs
Volume:
The volume of a storage tank is usually measured in cubic meters (m³). Common specifications include 10m³, 20m³, 30m³, 50m³, 100m³, 200m³, etc., and can also be customized according to customer needs.
Size:
The size parameters of a storage tank include diameter, height and wall thickness. The diameter and height determine the overall dimensions of the storage tank, while the wall thickness is related to the pressure bearing capacity and corrosion resistance of the storage tank.
For example, a 10m³ storage tank may have a diameter of 2.5m, a height of 2.5m, and a wall thickness of 6mm; while a 200m³ storage tank may have a diameter of 5m, a height of 10m, and a wall thickness of 12mm.
Type:
Based on the properties of the stored fluid, storage tanks can be divided into liquid storage tanks and gas storage tanks.
Liquid storage tanks can be divided into atmospheric pressure tanks and cryogenic tanks, which are used to store liquid substances at normal or low temperatures, such as petroleum, alcohol, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, etc.
Gas storage tanks can be divided into atmospheric pressure tanks and high-pressure tanks, which are used to store gaseous substances at normal or high pressure, such as air, oxygen, natural gas, compressed air, etc.
Material:
The material selection of the storage tank needs to consider the corrosiveness, temperature, pressure and special requirements of the fluid use environment.
Common materials include metal materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, non-metallic materials such as plastics, ceramics, and fiberglass, and composite materials such as steel-lined plastics and steel-lined fiberglass.
Accessories and control systems:
Storage tanks are usually equipped with inlet and outlet pipes, valves, level gauges, pressure gauges and other accessories for fluid entry, exit, measurement and control.
According to customer needs, automatic control systems can also be equipped to achieve remote monitoring and operation of storage tanks.
Safety and environmental protection:
The design of the storage tank must comply with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements to ensure safety during storage, transportation and use.
At the same time, the manufacture and use of storage tanks must also take environmental factors into consideration to reduce the impact on the environment.
