FRP storage tank, as the name suggests, is a storage container made of FRP with various special properties. The specific gravity of FRP is 1.8-2.1, but it is higher than the specific strength of steel and plastic. Although the thermal conductivity of FRP is only 0.5% of that of steel, the thermal expansion coefficient is almost the same as that of steel.
FRP tanks are widely used in the fields of petroleum, chemical industry, pharmacy, food, electronics and packaging because of their resistance to acid, alkali, salt and other corrosive liquids and special physical properties. Now FRP tanks can be made into various styles according to different purposes, such as vertical FRP tanks, horizontal FRP tanks and storage and transportation tanks, FRP storage tank can be made to store various substances with different chemical properties according to different media. It is composed of epoxy furan resin, phenolic resin or polyester resin as adhesive and corrosion-resistant inner lining, impervious layer, reinforcing layer and protective layer.
Although FRP tanks have been widely used in all walks of life, there is still some room for development, for example,
1. We can use physics and organic chemistry to improve the properties of FRP with high-end technology. FRP storage tanks have been widely used in industrial and civil industries. If they have better characteristics through improvement on the basis of maintaining the original characteristics, they will be more useful in military, aerospace and other high-tech fields.
2. Make more humanized modifications to its shape and specifications, such as the outer packaging of various batteries, various oil tanks and liquid storage tanks. Because of its outstanding characteristics, it will also be greatly improved in aircraft, cars, ships and other machinery.
3. Through the re treatment of the appearance, it can be used as some liquid storage tanks in workshops and factories. For example, some liquids and gases in the factory need to be placed at low temperature and away from light due to their nature. It is very inconvenient to move them out when in use. If FRP storage tanks are outsourced, it will save a lot of trouble.
According to different applications, FRP is made into containers such as liquid storage tank, sanding pipeline and washing tower pool. FRP storage tank, as a kind of container, is a member of FRP family. Through various improvements, FRP liquid storage tank is bound to have broader development space in various fields.
