Common Safety Tips for Glass-Fiber Storage Tanks

Common Safety Tips for Glass-Fiber Storage Tanks

1. Fiberglass storage tanks should not be loaded arbitrarily on top, and it is strictly prohibited to use them under vacuum for atmospheric pressure tanks!

2. No loads should be applied upon takeover, and effective anti-vibration measures must be set up for takeovers involving vibration sources.

Keep away from fire and heat sources, and avoid impacts with sharp objects.

4. Fiberglass storage tanks (fiberglass containers, fiberglass towers) must not exceed the designed pressure values. Unless specially designed, the vibration sources (mixers, reciprocating devices) and cold/hot pipes should be isolated and supported from the tank body.

5. Atmospheric Pressure Glass-Fused-to-Steel Storage Tank refers to a static hydraulic tank connected to the atmosphere, particularly vertical flat-bottom tanks. It is essential to ensure that the tank is well-ventilated with the atmosphere to prevent pressurization (positive or negative) due to emptying, feeding materials, or temperature changes.

6. The glass fiber storage tank is to be used only under design conditions and cannot be arbitrarily changed in terms of the medium (including medium concentration), temperature, and operating pressure, etc.

7. Storage tanks for liquids must be inspected regularly for leaks. Any detected issues should be repaired immediately.

During the hot summer months, the lifespan of outdoor storage tanks can be significantly extended by avoiding exposure to wind and sun.
