Is it necessary to secure outdoor single-tank storage tanks

2009-03-27View Original

Thread Content

During equipment installation, it was found that there were no embedded bolts in the foundation; the individual storage tanks were placed directly on the foundation without any fixation. I wonder if this is a problem The elevation of the base top surface of the monomer storage tank (i.e., the bottom surface of the tank supports) is 4 m, and the tank specifications are Φ3600×10000.

Generally, as you mentioned, the dimensions of the storage tank and the height of its foundation should be secured with foot bolts; otherwise, it won’t be very stable!

It needs to be fixed, insulated, and enclosed with cofferdams

If not, add a few fixed bolts or flanges by yourself... something must be fixed!

It must be secured; vinyl chloride is a hazardous material that is toxic and flammable, so protective measures must be taken!

It has a larger diameter, so it should be relatively stable. Whether to include bolts is a matter for the equipment design team to decide; there’s no need to worry about it.

It needs to be secured; this tank is too tall, and there are surely corresponding pipelines for material inlet and outlet on it. It’s not safe if it’s not secured. This post was last edited by lbp on 2009-3-28 16:19]

I think it needs to be secured; when designing and installing it, minor earthquakes should be taken into account, as they could topple your storage tank. If it’s not secured, it’s very unsafe.

It should be fixed; there are no foundation bolts. Are there any embedded components in the foundation plane? Perhaps the design calls for welding instead

It is allowed; the lack of bolts has been taken into account by the equipment design team

Our monomer tank is fixed, with embedded components; one end seems to have a sliding support.

It should be fixed; welding is not allowed – foot bolts must be used, with one end being sliding. Equipment of this size experiences significant expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, and over time, such displacement can become too great, risking the equipment from falling off its foundation.

I also believe it must be fixed, using anchor bolts, with one end being sliding.

It must be fixed; the safety risks associated with not fixing it are too great.
