Tank characteristics

classification
Due to the different storage media, the forms of storage tanks are also diverse.
Classified by location: can be divided into aboveground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, semi underground storage tanks, offshore storage tanks, subsea storage tanks, etc.
Classified by oil products: can be divided into crude oil storage tanks, fuel oil storage tanks, lubricating oil tanks, edible oil tanks, fire water tanks, etc.
Classification by use: it can be divided into production oil tank, storage oil tank, etc.
Classified by form: can be divided into vertical storage tanks, horizontal storage tanks, etc.
Classified by structure: can be divided into fixed roof tanks, floating roof tanks, spherical tanks, etc.
Classified by size: Large storage tanks with a capacity of over 50m3 are mostly vertical tanks; Small tanks below 50m 3 are mostly horizontal tanks.
According to the material of the storage tank: The materials required for the storage tank project are divided into tank body materials and auxiliary facility materials. Tank materials can be divided into low strength steel and high strength steel based on tensile yield strength or tensile standard strength. High strength steel is mostly used for storage tanks with a capacity of over 5000m3; Auxiliary facilities (including wind resistant ring beams, locks, winding ladders, guardrails, etc.) are all made of ordinary carbon structural steel with lower strength, while other accessories and accessories are made of other materials according to different purposes. The commonly used domestic steel for tank manufacturing includes 20, 20R, 16Mn, 16MnR, and Q235 series.
