Selection of metal hose material for the base of storage tanks
Thread Content
Question: What material should be used for the metal hose at the base of the storage tank? Please have a detailed discussion on this. Those who have used it too should share information on the material, service life, and types of media used. I’m facing a problem: the medium flowing through it always causes corrosion and leakage in the hoses. I’ve tried several different types of tubing, but the issue persists. If you have any good suggestions, please let me know
Tell us what medium it is, so everyone can help you figure out a solution.
I need to know what medium is used in other people’s storage tanks and what type of metal hose is employed; I’m looking for a reference, not an analysis done for me
Didn’t the original poster say you encountered a difficult problem? Please mention the materials and the type of metal hose you have chosen; maybe others can help
Please first describe your own situation; that way, everyone’s responses will be more targeted
My storage tank is used for storing refined oil. I have used both 304 and 316L stainless steel flexible hoses at the base of the tank, but they still suffer from corrosion and leakage. The location is by the sea, and in such an environment, what material can be chosen to prevent leakage and ensure long durability? The types of substances stored in the tank are not fixed; refined oil as well as various common chemical products are stored there
My storage tanks are used for refined oil and various common chemical products. Metal hoses at the base of these tanks have been made of either 304 or 316L materials. The location is by the sea, and corrosion and leaks have occurred with both of these materials. Now I want to find out what material would be suitable to resist salt and corrosion, given that the contents in the tanks are changed frequently

The environment is by the sea, and spraying SEBF is the most effective method for resisting salt and corrosion in such coastal conditions. For port environments, 304 and 316L are inappropriate material choices for saline environments; the most effective material is pig iron: lol
I agree with what was said above; in a salt-corrosion environment, using stainless steel alone is not suitable, and considering applying a coating on the outside could be an option
Carbon steel was considered, but there are concerns about insufficient flexibility, and anti-corrosion treatment is difficult to implement
