D103-09 Bolted Steel Tanks For Potable Water Storage
Bolted
steel tanks are a convenient storage solution for potable water storage They are constructed from individual steel panels
that are manufactured and finished in the factory, then transported to the site
and bolted together using the appropriate gaskets and fasteners for the product
that will be stored. Unlike conventional concrete or welded storage solutions,
which require extensive fabrication and finishing processes onsite, bolted
tanks offer quick installation, lower shipping costs, and they can be assembled
in nearly any type of weather, eliminating many weather-related delays.
All
our bolted steel tanks are made of Glass-Fused-to-Steel, so we also call it
Glass-Fused-To-Steel tanks. Glass-Fused-To-Steel combines the strength and
flexibility of steel and the corrosion resistance of glass. After firing at
820°C-930°C high temperature, the molten glass reacts with the steel plate surface
to form an inert and inorganic bond, which combines the strength and
flexibility of steel and outstanding corrosion resistance of glass, so
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks can provide many advantages over standard epoxy or
weld painted storage tanks. As the panels are bolted together, it will not take
that long construction times. Your investment will get a quick return for
minimal maintenance cost Bolt systems commonly used by others are prone to
damaging the glass fused coating at the edges of a bolt hole, creating
vulnerabilities in the fusion coating, potentially leading to premature
corrosion or leaking.. The glass-lined panel, self-locking bolts, and sealant
form the structure of glass fused to steel tank, a highly durable tank.
