Oil tanks are ideal containers used to store crude oil or other kind of oil, they are widely used in refinery, oil field, oil tank
farm, or other industrial production. Oil tanks play a very important role in the process of oil and gas storage and
transportation. What’s more, oil tanks come in various of sizes and types according to different classification standards so
that there are some differences in their installation to some extent.
STORAGE TA
Vertical fixed roof oil tanks, which are composed of fixed tank roof and vertical cylindrical tank wall, are mainly used for Installation Guide of Steel Tank
storage of non volatile oil, such as diesel oil and the similar oil. The most commonly used volume of fixed roof oil tanks right
from 1,000m³ to 10,000m³. Floating roof oil tanks, which are composed of a floating roof that floats on the oil surface and a Design of Vertical Storage Tank
vertical cylindrical tank wall, are suitable to store volatile oil, like gasoline and the similar medium, and the volume of floating
roof oil tanks are generally larger. The floating roof of oil tanks can increase or decrease following with the increase and
decrease of the stored oil production in the oil tanks, a ring seal is installed between the outer edge of floating roof and tank
wall. What’s more, the medium in the oil tanks is always covered by the internal floating roof directly, in order to reduce the

evaporation of medium.

Floating roof steel oil tanks are equipped with double floating deck roofs or singe deck floating roof which can float up and
down, the double deck floating roof can reduce the heat radiation effect, therefore, the oil evaporation loss is small. But
when the capacity is larger (more than 10,000 m³), it is generally preferred a single deck floating roof in order to reduce the
cost. This kind of oil tanks should be paid more attention on choosing of reasonable sealing device, which required
excellent sealing performance, convenient installation and maintenance.
This kind of oil tanks consist of both doom roof and internal floating roof, internal floating roof can float up and down upon
the liquid level. In addition to the characteristics of external floating roof tank, internal floating roof tank can also ensure the
cleanliness of the stored oil.

This kind of oil tanks can withstand the working pressure ranging from 0.45MPa to 3MPa, the capacity is generally between
50m³ and 2,000m³.Spherical steel oil tanks are generally used to store liquid petroleum gas.
The capacity of horizontal steel oil tanks is generally less than 50m³, it can store gasoline and volatile oil products.
