Stainless Steel Storage Tanks


Sweet memories of every childhood have some favourite food items stored and hidden  in a steel drum or utensils,and is a pleasure game to get food from it without the knowledge of family members.Steel storage tanks have many applications and advantages than any other storage materials made out of wood or plastic. Steel industry is producing a lot of steel storage tanks for purpose of storing many materials like chemicals,gases,food,water and other bulk materials.


Why Stainless Steel Tanks used for storage ?

1. Ease of use and flexibility.
2. Prevent Corrosion ,so stainless steel tanks are  the ideal substance for
storing hazardous materials.
3. Resist extreme Temperature. 
4. Tremendous Durability.
5. Recyclable Nature.
6. Hygienic and cost- saving.


Stainless steel tanks are storage  devices that are used to hold a range of substances.Many industries heavily rely on stainless steel tanks include pharmaceutical companies,the food and beverage industry,agriculture,sewage and wastewater companies.Even though there are many applications associated with steel storage tanks,broadly they can be classified into three.

1. Chemicals
2. Feed
3. Water


1.Chemicals

 Every chemical is dangerous to some extent ,so reliable storage system is required to resist corrosion and protect against easy puncture that lead to any environmental mess.HCL leakage was the recent news,caused due to the damage  of valve pipes .In such case health issues and chance of other toxic gas generation is very high,so storage system must be designed carefully with all precautions.




2.Food 

Most plentiful material used on a daily basis is food.Various food products like  Spirits,Soft drinks,Apple juice,Cider,Wine,Cooking, oils,Dairy produce etc can be safely stored on steel storage tanks for many days without any quality loss.

3.Water

Irrigation,manufacturing and fire-protection services require a ready supply of water to hand.For these applications ,a conical bottom can be designed for stainless storage tanks to ensure quick and complete drainage of liquids.

Advantages of Steel Tanks

Steel tanks are not limited to one shape or design.They range from small size to industrial tanks capable of thousands of gallons.Shape of stainless steel tanks depends heavily on the material being stored and the space designated to hold them.Quality checks are done for testing steel tanks like subsurface testing and pressure testing.


1 Tremendous Durability

The main reason for using steel storage tanks are because of its high durability and resistance against rough materials.Plastic or wood storage tanks can break and are also accountable to be affected by intense cold or heat.Steel tanks can  keep stored items in best condition and no risk involved such as cracking ,freezing or rust.

2. Recyclable Nature

Stainless steel is  a long life material and is recyclable in nature.New stainless steel items are comprised of approximately 60-70% of recycled materials,thereby they represent stainless biodegradable in nature.Steel companies in Dubai produces a large amount of recyclable steel.

3. Hygienic and cost- saving

Stainless steel tanks are easy to clean,hygienic and cost saving.The main advantages of steel tanks are they are not only long -lasting and sturdy,but undeniably very hygienic.In  medical industry also,some medicines are other materials are kept in steel containers which are easy to sterilize.


Good as Steel

If you are looking for the most durable,challenging,sturdy and alluring storage tanks,stainless steel is evidently the best choice.When terrorists attacked america,then president George W bush quotes that “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve”. So Steel is not only an industrial term,but the also political and nationalistic back bone for every crucial decision.Be good as Steel.

HY - 80 The Submarine Steel: Facts to Know

Image
HY-80 is a high-tensile, high yield strength, low alloy steel. It was developed for use in naval applications, specifically the development of pressure hulls for the US nuclear submarine program and is still currently used in many naval applications.The first production submarines to use HY-80 steel were the Permit class. These reportedly had a normal operating depth of 1,300 feet, roughly two-thirds the crush depth limit imposed by the steel. Manufacturing of HY -80 HY-80 steel is a member of the low carbon, low alloy family of steels with nickel, chromium and molybdenum (Ni-Cr-Mo) as alloying elements and is hardenable. The weldability of the steel is good, though it does come with a set of challenges due to the carbon and alloy content.[12] The carbon content can range from 0.12 to 0.20 wt% with an overall alloy content of up to 8 wt%. It is also used extensively in military/navy applications with large thick plate sections that add to the potential weldabili

Why Steel Is Used For Rails?

Image
Earlier wooden rails were used on horse drawn wagon ways.The first steel rails used anywhere in the world were laid in Derby station on the Midland Railway in 1857. Steel is a much stronger material, which steadily replaced iron for use on railway rail and allowed much longer lengths of rails to be rolled. Composition of rail steel The basic requirement of rail steel is that it should be hard, wear resistant and crack resistant. This is achieved by steel composition and cooling of the hot rails. These properties of steel are achieved through control of carbon (C) and manganese (Mn) contents. Carbon content of rail steel can go up to a maximum of 0.82 % and manganese content up to a maximum of 1.7 %.   The normal rails are made of steel containing 0.7% C and 1% Mn, which are called as C-Mn rail steel. From a strength perspective (ultimate tensile strength of 880 MPa or 90 Kg/ Sq mm), the C-Mn rail is popularly known as 90 UTS rail or Grade 880 rail. This grade of rail
