What to Pay Attention to During the Transportation of Fiberglass Tanks?

1. During transportation, the soft rope and crane are effectively utilized to lift the fiberglass tank. It is then carefully placed on pre-prepared wooden boards. For smaller fiberglass tanks, the fork tines of a forklift can be wrapped with soft padding, and the tank can be placed on the board using the forklift.

2. If the fiberglass storage tank is not to be installed temporarily, it should be placed on a bracket and secured during use to prevent it from rolling.

3. Fiberglass storage tanks require sealing and preservation before their paint is applied for use. Moisture-damaged paint can affect the quality of the finish, and if the paint concentration is too high, it should be diluted.

4. In many transportation and containment operations, large fiberglass storage tank systems are often indispensable to their crucial carriers, as many liquid materials are characterized by their complex properties, thus relying heavily on specialized application materials.

5. During the operation of glass-fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks, loading should not be arbitrary on the top. Constant-pressure storage tanks are prohibited from being used under vacuum. Glass-fiber reinforced plastic tanks cannot be subjected to loading, and measures to effectively isolate vibration sources must be in place.

6. Fiberglass storage tanks should not be approached with fire during operation and should maintain a safe distance from heat sources. The equipment's working pressure should not exceed its planned value. During operation, unless specifically designed, vibration sources such as cold and hot pipes should be isolated from the tank's supporting structure.

7. Glass-fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks are primarily static hydraulic tanks connected to the atmosphere during operation, especially those vertical flat-bottom tanks. In the process of use, they require the tank body to be pressurized, ensuring that it remains pressurized during operation, regardless of emptying, feeding, or changes in temperature.

8. During the operation of glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks, they are subject to pressure exerted by the liquid within their walls. The wind load on the equipment directly leads to stresses due to the tank's own weight and other pressures, with the magnitude of the pressure varying with the height of the tank.
