Cylindrical Transport Tank

HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL TANK FOR TRANSPORT FABRICATED IN FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC

The Horizontal Cylindrical Transport Tank is fabricated using the Filament Winding  method in accordance with ASTM D-3299 Norm, using resins of high chemical resistance reinforced with unidirectional, bi-directional and multidirectional glass fibers.

The structure, along with the covers, supports and hold-downs, are calculated taking into account loads originated by  sudden  acceleration and braking on a truck, for a content of a certain weight.

The tank is designed for installation sideways to the longitudinal axis of the truck, on a flat surface with no bumps or irregularities, so that supports may be duly anchored.  The following accessories are standard:  manhole with cover, gasket and bolts, fittings for filling and drainage, a vent, inserts for anchoring to platform, lugs for handling, a see-through band for watching the level,  and a nameplate.  The tanks are delivered along with calculation documents and instructions for installation and a preventive inspection, plus the list of  required bolts for anchoring to truck bed.

The table below shows the capacities and dimensions for standard tanks. Some variations may be  incorporated according to needs.

To properly define the structure and resin required for a specific condition, it is important to provide the following parameters:

Product to be transported
Concentration
Specific weight
Operating temperature
Maximum temperature
Eventual and operational overloads.
