Summary of Technical Specifications for Storage Tanks

1. Overview
This document provides detailed technical specifications for storage tanks, focusing on dimensions, capacities, structural features, and support configurations. The data is organized primarily by nominal capacity and corresponding physical parameters.

2. Key Parameters and Definitions

Nominal Capacity (m³): The volume capacity of the tank.
Outside Diameter (mm): External diameter of the tank shell.
Length of the Wall (Lp) (mm): Length of the cylindrical wall section.
Total Length (Lo) (mm): Overall length of the tank including end components.
Distance Between Supports (fr) (mm): Span between structural supports.
Width of Supports (Sf) (mm): Width dimension of the support structures.
Manhole Diameter (DN): Diameter of the manhole opening.
Wall Thickness (mm): Thickness of the tank walls, varying by class.
Number of Lifting Eyebolts: Quantity of eyebolts for lifting the tank.

3. Structural Classes and Wall Thickness
The tanks are categorized into Class A and Class B, each with two sub-classes (S1 and S2) that define wall thickness requirements:

Class A: Wall thicknesses of 5 mm (S1) and 3 mm (S2) for smaller tanks; increasing thickness for larger diameters.
Class B: Wall thicknesses of 5 mm (S1) and 3 mm (S2) for smaller tanks; similarly adjusted for larger tanks.

4. Dimensions and Capacities
The table lists tanks ranging from 1 m³ to 100 m³ nominal capacity with corresponding outside diameters from 1000 mm to 2900 mm. Lengths vary from approximately 1450 mm to 15900 mm overall. Support distances and widths scale with tank size.

5. Support and Lifting Features
Support widths range from 150 mm to 300 mm depending on tank size. The number of lifting eyebolts varies from 2 to 4, increasing with tank size and weight.

6. Observations and Recommendations

Wall thickness and support dimensions must be selected according to tank class and size to ensure structural integrity.
Manhole sizes are standardized at 600 mm or 800 mm diameter, facilitating maintenance access.
Lifting eyebolts are provided in sufficient numbers to safely handle the tank during installation and transport.

7. Critical Parameters

Ensure compliance with specified wall thicknesses for each class to meet safety and durability standards.
Verify support spacing and width to prevent structural failure under load.
Confirm manhole dimensions and placement for operational accessibility.

This structured data supports design, manufacturing, and installation planning for storage tanks across various capacities and sizes.

CONTAINER STATIONS Use destination - Complete and mobile service stations destined to the distribution of self-service gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, with tanks of variable capacity. They are used in industries such as road transport, road construction, nautical sector, agricultural sector, industrial sector, etc. Quality and safety The production plant offers the best technologies for the production of tanks, based on years of experience and qualifications of the employed staff, from the engineering department to logistics, from the production to quality control, ensuring quality tanks and the certainty to store dangerous and hazardous substances without damaging man and environment. Design and production supervised by Notified Bodies The technical documentation, the production processes and the compliance of the tanks are verified and proved by the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT) as well as by other notification bodies. Technical tank characteristics: - The tanks are produced according to the rules EN 12285-2 or DIN 6616 - The used material is mainly the certified carbon steel S235JRG2 - The preparation of the outer surface of the sheets takes place through abrasive sand-blasting at the degree Sa 2.5, according to the rule PN-ISO 8501-1 - Standard outside epoxy coating Class C3, according to PN-EN ISO 12944-2 - The tanks can be supplied with the further guarantee that the inside surfaces are coated with special resistant paints complying with the substances stored in the tank - Predisposition for monitoring the interspace between the walls (in case of tank with double wall)
