What are the characteristics of the storage tank?

Due to the different storage media, the form of the storage tank is also varied.

Classification by location: can be divided into ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, semi-underground storage tanks, offshore storage tanks, submarine storage tanks, etc.

According to the oil classification: can be divided into crude oil storage tank, fuel storage tank, lubricating oil tank, edible oil tank, fire water tank, etc.

Classification by use: can be divided into production tanks, storage tanks, etc.

According to the form of classification: can be divided into vertical storage tank, horizontal storage tank, etc.

According to the structure classification: can be divided into fixed roof storage tank, floating roof storage tank, spherical storage tank, etc.

Classified by size: large storage tanks above 50m3 are mostly vertical storage tanks; Small storage tanks below 50m 3 are mostly horizontal storage tanks.

According to the material of the storage tank: the materials required for the storage tank project are divided into tank materials and ancillary facilities materials. Tank materials can be divided into low-strength steel and high-strength steel according to tensile yield strength or tensile standard strength. High-strength steel is mostly used for storage tanks above 5000m3. Auxiliary facilities (including wind-resistant ring beams, locks, spiral ladders, guardrails, etc.) are all made of ordinary carbon structural steel with low strength, while other accessories and accessories are made of other materials according to different uses. Domestic steels commonly used for tank manufacturing are 20, 20R, 20R, 16Mn, 16MnR, 16MnR and Q235 series.
