Glass-fiber Lateral Storage Tank

I. Overview of Fiberglass Storage Tanks

Fiberglass storage tanks are a type of fiberglass product, primarily made by wrapping a new composite material around a mold using glass fibers as the reinforcing agent and resin as the binder, all controlled by a microcomputer. These tanks offer corrosion resistance, high strength, lightweight, and long service life. Due to their flexibility in design and strong processability, they can be adapted for various industries such as chemicals and environmental protection, gradually replacing most of the market share of carbon steel and stainless steel.

Section II: Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) Storage Tanks Classification

Fiberglass storage tanks can be categorized by form as vertical tanks, horizontal tanks: by size, as standard tanks and field-wound large tanks: and by pressure, as pressure tanks and vacuum tanks, etc.

Section 3: Characteristics of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic Storage Tanks

(1) Lightweight and high-strength

Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) has a relative density between 1.5 and 2.0, which is only 1/4 to 1/5 of carbon steel, yet its tensile strength is close to, and even exceeds, carbon steel. Its specific strength can be compared to that of high-grade alloy steel.

(2) Excellent corrosion resistance

FRP is an excellent corrosion-resistant material, with strong resistance to atmospheric conditions, water, and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, as well as various oils and solvents. It has been applied to all aspects of chemical corrosion prevention.

(3) Excellent thermal properties

FRP has a low thermal conductivity, only 1/100 to 1/1000 of metal, making it an excellent insulating material.

(4) Excellent workmanship

① Can be flexibly selected according to the product's shape, technical requirements, application, and quantity for the molding process

②Simple in process, capable of one-time molding, with remarkable economic benefits, especially for products with complex shapes that are difficult to form in large quantities, its processing superiority is even more pronounced.
