The selection problem of internal floating plate.

2009-02-21View Original

Thread Content

Our company is building two 5,000-square-meter methanol storage tanks, which are equipped with internal floating disks. What should I pay attention to when choosing internal floating disks? In addition, due to different media, the buoyancy is different. Are internal floating plates with different media universal? Please advise!

The internal floating disk can be calculated by a professional manufacturer based on the conditions proposed in the design. Various media have different densities and different corrosive properties, so the internal floating disk cannot be used universally. The internal floating disk type is now more commonly used as the pontoon type, while the shallow disk type is generally not used.

The basic requirements for the use of aluminum internal floating plates are safety, environmental protection, energy saving and consumption reduction. This requires that the floating plate be designed with full consideration of the floating plate's buoyancy uniformity, the stability of the use process, and the economy. The buoyancy uniformity requires that the buoyancy of any area of the floating plate is equal, and its stability is its The structure must be scientific, including the combination of various components, the reliability of joints, etc. Economic efficiency means that the service life of each component of the floating plate is the same, and one cannot be longer than the other, which will affect economic benefits. The specific design is designed by each manufacturer. The floating plates currently on the market can be roughly divided into two forms.: One is the float type, including 1. # shaped float type floating plate, 2. Inlaid type float type floating plate, 3. Floating pot type floating plate. The second is the floating box type floating plate. The sealing of the inner floating plate is divided into three types according to the medium: nitrile rubber, fluorine rubber and EPDM rubber seals. According to the structure, there are three types: bag flip type, bag type fixed type and tongue seal. This post was last published by cmylxm on 2009-2-21 18:50 Edit ]

The internal floating roof adjusts its buoyancy according to the density of the medium, and the others are universal. If the medium is corrosive, stainless steel materials can be used. This post was last edited by zhenghongsheng on 2009-2-21 23:27 ]

The main thing is to choose a manufacturer with better quality. The inner floating plate is a non-standard part. The main indicators are the selection of materials, the distribution form of the floats, and the sealing method. Our factory will recommend the sealing form and material to you based on the storage medium, usage environment, etc. Generally speaking, aluminum alloy floating plates are used for 15 years and stainless steel floating plates are used for 25 years.
