What material is suitable for manufacturing a 50m3 hydrochloric acid storage tank?

This post was last edited by sunjl1981 on 2013-1-6 at 21:40. We plan to install several 50m3 hydrochloric acid storage tanks. Materials such as fiberglass, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene can all resist corrosion. However, considering factors like cost, safety in use, and service life, which material would be the best choice? Please help recommend one; thank you! ， ， -
None of these stabilities are very good. Stainless steel is relatively expensive; lined equipment can be used.
It is possible to use 316 stainless steel
Fiberglass is commonly used, but it is necessary to find a reputable manufacturer for production. Fiberglass products require a framework, and there are also specific thickness requirements. It is necessary to strictly control the production quality as well as the pressure testing and leak detection processes. It should also be noted that the flanges of fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks and the connections between the tank components represent weak points, and more careful winding is required.
We used fiberglass; it’s quite good… no problems at all·
Can 316L be used for hydrochloric acid storage tanks?
Fiberglass can be used. The cost-performance ratio is quite good
Reply to 8#: I and Muziyuan find 316 stainless steel unsuitable; fiberglass is commonly used
316L stainless steel is not resistant to acids in the first place, so it cannot be used.
We use fiberglass, and there are no problems with it
