For cryogenic liquid storage tanks, is it necessary to use an adhesive for the insulating foam glass at the bottom?
Thread Content
Recent research has focused on the insulation of cryogenic storage tanks. I would like to ask: for liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon storage tanks with a volume of 1000–5000 cubic meters and insulated bases, is it necessary to use adhesives for joining them? Based on what criteria. If a special adhesive is not used, what are the alternatives? Or should there be no basis at all? Thank you in advance
I’ve looked up a lot of information, but nothing clearly states it. Indeed, many companies mention the use of it in their construction plans
