Storage tank put into use in 1932
Thread Content
Everyone, I saw a metal storage tank at a refinery abroad that was put into use in 1932 and is still in operation to this day; it is a crude oil storage tank with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters, and it was constructed using riveting. Everyone is free to share their thoughts – has anyone seen this type of connection before? It is said that there is a storage tank here with a 100-year history, which reminds me of those railway bridges built abroad to assist China in earlier years.
I’ve seen it; is it the insulation layer on the outside?
The design life of storage tanks is around 15 to 20 years (should it actually be around 30 years? ), it’s really been almost 100 years since we’ve seen one; it was quite enlightening.
No, storage tanks do not require insulation.
Yes, such storage tanks do not exist in China.
First, consider the quality; second, consider maintenance. I’ve seen bicycles that are over 10 years old still looking as good as new.
