Stainless steel tanks hold a variety of substances
including food, beverages, chemicals, gases and water. Sizes range from
one gallon to millions of gallons. Stainless
steel storage tanks are
often large vessels. They are usually cylindrical like drums, but are
not limited in shape. Stainless steel tank manufacturers either make
their products with a horizontal or vertical orientation. Although many
stainless steel tanks serve as storage containers for bulk materials,
they also serve as pressure
vessels and reactors in many industrial applications. Stainless steel
pressure vessels and reactor tanks may be much smaller vessels, especially
when used in pharmaceutical and scientific applications.
Stainless steel tanks are thin-walled constructions. Although stainless
steel is strong, it is vulnerable to buckling when the material is thin.
Stainless steel tanks are most vulnerable during construction, transportation
and installation. The contents of the stainless steel tanks actually
aid its stability. The shape of the tank is dependent on its diameter
or height and the efficient use of material. Stainless steel tank manufacturers
can make the ends of their products flat or in the shape of a dome or
cone. In determining the size that a tank needs to be, consider how much
extra volume should be included to cover for future process needs, such
as thermal expansion or foaming, and also filling control, especially
in the applications that require high speed pumping. The industrial applications
in which stainless steel tanks are utilized determine tank properties
such as size, shape and orientation.
Stainless steel tank manufacturers supply numerous industries, including
agricultural, food and beverage processing, medical, chemical and wastewater/sewage.
They are typically put into use when hygiene or corrosion is a concern.
These tanks are advantageous in many applications because of the number
of benefits of stainless steel material. Stainless
steel is corrosion
resistant, which makes it useful in the storage of
hazardous substances. When corrosion does occur, it is usually localized.
Pitting begins in places where the protective oxide film is weakened,
while crevice corrosion occurs at physical crevices, such as joints between
two overlapping sheets of stainless steel. Stainless steel is also resistant
to extremes in temperature, strong, easy to fabricate and clean. Strength
of material that has good thermal conductivity and thermal expansion
rate is not usually important, except in the case of pressure vessels,
which are usually made from duplex steel.
Leaking of storage tanks is always a big concern. Toxins can seep into
surrounding vegetation and underground water supplies. Tanks should be
regularly tested, either by pressure testing, subsurface testing or full
tank removal. Emergency bilge pumps are designed to deal with leakages.
They can pump out the rest of the fluids in a leaking tank or soil content
that is contaminated. Submersible pumps are designed to be installed
completely immersed within a tank. Oil-filled cavities of submersible
pump motors protect them from contact with the transfer media. Submersible
pumps can treat groundwater, extract pollutants or even remove the fluids
completely.

Types of Stainless Steel Tanks
Aseptic tanks are sterile sealed and steam locked
in order to prevent the entrance of biological agents.
Calandrias are tanks made for filtration-filter cartridges.
Dewars are pressure vessels created to sustain
extremely low, cryogenic temperatures, ranging from -250° C to
-100° C (-418° F
to -148° F). Stainless steel is often a suitable material for
dewars because it can withstand damage associated with very low temperatures.
Hydropneumatic tanks are pressure vessels in which both liquids and
gases are collected.
Stainless steel beverage
tanks commonly store liquid drinking products
such as ale, wine, soda and juice.
Stainless steel dairy
tanks are used to store dairy products. Upkeep
of dairy tanks must comply with the standards of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
Stainless steel pressure
vessels store substances at pressure levels
greater than that of atmospheric pressure. In some cases,
pressure tanks may also refer to those tanks that store substances
at
pressure levels lower than that of atmospheric pressure.
Stainless steel reactors alter the condition of a substance through
the application of heat and pressure. Reactor tanks are
used to lower the toxicity of a substance and initiate chemical and
nuclear reactions,
such as fission.
Stainless steel sanitary
tanks must adhere to the strict hygienic
standards of regulatory bodies, such as the FDA and the
USDA, and are used in
the medical, chemical and food processing industries,
among many other industries. Because stainless steel is easy to clean,
the
metal is
a common choice for applications in which cleanliness
and
hygiene remain extremely important.
Stainless steel silos are vertical, cylindrical vessels used for
storage of a variety of products. Silos are commonly
used in the agricultural
industry to store animal feed and crops.
Stainless steel storage
tanks hold fluids and solids for future use.
Unlike substances in pressure vessels, storage tank
substances are generally kept at atmospheric pressure.
Stainless steel water
tanks hold water used for different purposes,
including drinking and wastewater treatment facilities.
Stainless tanks are used to hold a wide variety of materials and substances.
Steel tanks are containers that are designed for holding and storing various substances.
Stainless Steel Tanks Terms
Atmospheric Pressure – The amount of force the
atmosphere exerts upon the surface of the earth, measuring 14.7 psi at
sea level. A tank that holds substances at pressure levels greater than
14.7 psi is considered a pressure
vessel, while a tank that holds substances
at pressure levels lower than 14.7 psi is considered a vacuum.
Brittle Fracture – Fracture of certain steels associated with exposure
to very low temperatures, often in circumstances in which stress levels
have not exceeded yield strength.
CIP (Clean-In-Place) Fixtures – Fixtures that provide an efficient
and effective way of cleaning a tank without taking it apart. CIP fixtures
include sprayballs, dishes and T-balls.
Canadian Registration Number (CRN) – A
number given to pressure vessels shipped to Canada.
Cladding – A stainless steel coating applied to a lower-alloy steel
to increase corrosion resistance. Cladding costs less than using stainless
steel exclusively and can be applied by pouring, welding or coating.
Corrosion Allowance – An increase in vessel shell thickness designed
to compensate for the corrosion and abrasion of certain pressure vessels.
Protective coatings and linings are also added to pressure vessels to
prevent corrosion.
Creep – Permanent deformation of steel caused by strength reduction
resulting from exposure to high temperatures.
Duplex Steel – A type of stainless steel comprised of austenic
and ferretic steel, the combination of which is stronger than either
of the individual metals. Duplex steels are extremely corrosion and crack
resistant.
Electropolishing – The removal of imperfections on the surface
of stainless steel by dissolving the steel in a solution of electrolytes
through which a current of electricity travels.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) – Federal organization responsible
for the regulation of food, drugs, medical equipment, cosmetics, etc.
The FDA also regulates the storage of such products and maintains standards
for stainless steel tanks used in applications involving these products.
Fouling – The build-up of deposits comprised of marine organisms
that occurs on submerged metal surfaces.
Gauge – A measurement of the thickness of steel.
Manway – Access port to the internal region of the tank or pressure
vessel.
National Board Inspection Code – Worldwide standard for pressure
vessel inspection, alteration and repair.
Psi (Pounds per Square Inch) – Unit
that measures the amount of pressure applied to an object. Psi reflects
the amount of pressure under
which a pressure vessel substance remains.
Sanitary Piping – The piping systems between pipes that are interconnected
and able to be cleaned.
Stainless Steel – Type of steel containing 10 to 12 percent of
chromium. Stainless steel is a common choice for tanks because of its
corrosion and temperature resistance.
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) – Federal organization
regulating many aspects of the agricultural industry. The USDA regulates
food supply and promotes the safe processing and storage of meat, dairy
products, etc., and maintains strict standards for stainless steel sanitary
and dairy tanks.
