This page explains how Chemical Storage Tanks is classified within Chemical Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
Industrial chemical storage tanks for feedstocks and process liquids, with material selection matched to chemistry, temperature and pressure.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Chemical Storage Tanks
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Capacity | 1000–50000 L | 1000–50000 — Range depends on process throughput; larger tanks for continuous neutralization.DIN 28011 |
| Working Pressure | Atmospheric to 0.5 bar(g) | Atmospheric to 0.5 — Higher pressures require reinforced design and may increase cost.ASME VIII Div.1 |
| Design Temperature | -20–80 °C | -20 to 80 — For HDPE/XLPE, upper limit is 60°C; for FRP, 80°C; for steel, higher.ASME VIII Div.1 |
| Material of Construction | 316L SS, FRP (vinyl ester), HDPE/XLPE, Carbon steel with PTFE lining | 316L SS, FRP (vinyl ester), HDPE/XLPE, Carbon steel with PTFE lining — Selection depends on chemical compatibility and temperature.ASTM A240 |
| Wall Thickness | 5–20 mm | 5–20 — Thicker for higher pressure or corrosive duty.DIN 28011 |
| Connections | DN50–DN200 mm | DN50–DN200 — Inlet/outlet sizes; larger for higher flow rates.EN 1092-1 |
| Level Sensor Accuracy | ±0.5 % of full scale | ±0.5 — For continuous level measurement; radar or ultrasonic.IEC 61518 |
| Agitation Speed | 10–100 rpm | 10–100 — For mixing; depends on tank size and viscosity. |
| Corrosion Resistance | 0.1–0.5 mm/year | 0.1–0.5 — Maximum corrosion rate for wetted parts; lower is better.ASTM G31 |
| Service Life | 10–20 years | 10–20 — Expected life under normal operating conditions. |
| Temperature | -20–80 °C | -20 to 80 °C — Outside this window: Above 80°C: HDPE/XLPE softens, FRP delaminates, PTFE lining may degrade; below -20°C: brittleness in plastics, steel may crack. |
| Pressure | Atmospheric to 0.5 bar(g) | Atmospheric to 0.5 bar(g) — Outside this window: Above 0.5 bar(g): risk of structural failure, especially for plastic tanks; vacuum conditions can cause collapse. |
| Chemical Concentration | Varies by chemical; e.g., H2SO4 up to 98% for HDPE, up to 70% for FRP | Varies by chemical; e.g., H2SO4 up to 98% for HDPE, up to 70% for FRP — Outside this window: Exceeding concentration limits leads to rapid corrosion or chemical attack, causing leaks. |
| pH Range | 0–14 | 0–14 — Outside this window: Outside range may degrade lining or base material; e.g., high pH attacks FRP resin. |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
2 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Materials on file include 316L stainless steel, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), polyethylene (HDPE/XLPE), and carbon steel with lining. Selection depends on chemical compatibility, temperature, and pressure. Always verify with the manufacturer for your specific chemicals.
The nominal capacity range is 1000 to 50000 liters, depending on process throughput. Larger tanks are used for continuous neutralization. Confirm the required capacity with your process design.
Relevant standards include ASME VIII Div.1, DIN 28011, ASTM A240, ASTM D3299, ASTM D1998, EN 1092-1, IEC 61518, and ASTM G31. These are procurement references; the manufacturer must verify compliance for the actual design.
Provide the chemical identity, concentration, pH, temperature, and pressure to the manufacturer. They must verify chemical compatibility and structural design. Do not rely solely on published ranges; confirm for your specific service conditions.
