FRP Storage Tank 1054 φ250×1400mm 2.5” Thread 0.5-1.5 T/H for Industrial Use

When it comes to industrial storage solutions, the FRP Storage Tank 1054 is a game-changer. With a diameter and height of φ250×1400mm, a top opening featuring a 2.5” thread, and a design flow rate ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 T/H, this tank is built to meet the diverse and demanding needs of various industrial sectors. What truly sets it apart is the exceptional set of properties that FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) brings to the table.

First and foremost, FRP is lightweight yet incredibly strong. Boasting a relative density between 1.5 and 2.0, it is only 1/4 to 1/5 the weight of carbon steel. Despite this lightness, its tensile strength is on par with, or even exceeds, that of carbon steel. In fact, some epoxy FRP variants can achieve tensile, bending, and compression strengths of over 400MPa. This unique combination makes it an excellent choice for applications where reducing weight is critical, such as in aerospace, rocket technology, spacecraft, high-pressure containers, and any other products where minimizing self-weight is essential.

Another standout feature is its superior corrosion resistance. FRP is a highly effective anti-corrosion material, capable of withstanding the elements, water, and general concentrations of acids, alkalis, salts, as well as numerous oils and solvents. This has led to its widespread adoption in all areas of chemical anti-corrosion, gradually replacing traditional materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, and non-ferrous metals.

In terms of electrical performance, FRP excels as an insulating material, making it ideal for manufacturing insulators. It maintains good dielectric properties even at high frequencies and has excellent microwave permeability, which has resulted in its extensive use in radar antenna covers.

The thermal performance of FRP is also impressive. With a low thermal conductivity of 1.25~1.67kJ/(m·h·K) at room temperature, which is only 1/100 to 1/1000 that of metals, it serves as an outstanding thermal insulator. Moreover, in situations involving instantaneous ultra-high temperatures, it acts as an ideal thermal protection and ablation-resistant material, capable of safeguarding spacecraft from the scourge of high-speed airflow at temperatures exceeding 2000℃.

FRP also offers excellent design flexibility. For one, it can be flexibly designed into various structural products to meet specific usage requirements, ensuring a high level of integrity. Additionally, materials can be carefully selected to achieve desired product performance, such as corrosion resistance, resistance to instantaneous high temperatures, exceptional strength in specific directions, or good dielectric properties.

Last but not least, FRP boasts superior processability. Molding processes can be chosen based on the product's shape, technical requirements, intended use, and quantity. The simple, one-time molding process delivers significant economic benefits, particularly for complex, low-volume products that are difficult to shape, where its process advantages become even more pronounced. Thanks to the high design flexibility and excellent tank wall structural performance of FRP storage tanks, fiber-wound FRP allows for adjustments to the resin system or reinforcing materials to modify the physical and chemical properties of FRP storage tanks and non-standard devices, adapting to the needs of different media and working conditions. By adjusting the structural layer thickness, winding angle, and wall thickness structure and design, the bearing capacity of the tank can be modified to produce FRP storage tanks and non-standard devices with different pressure levels or specific properties, a capability that is unmatched by isotropic metal materials.
