Glass Fused To Steel Tanks

Product Description

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFtS), also known as Glass-Lined-Steel (GLS), represents the apex of tank and silo containment storage design. This advanced technology integrates the best attributes of steel and glass by fusing them at high temperatures. The resulting structure capitalizes on the strength and flexibility of steel while benefiting from the protective properties of glass, creating a highly durable and reliable storage solution.

The steel component provides the structural integrity and flexibility necessary for robust containment. Its inherent strength ensures that the glass fused to steel tanks or silos can withstand significant mechanical stresses, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from municipal water storage to industrial chemical containment. Meanwhile, the glass coating offers unparalleled protection against corrosion and wear. When fused to the steel surface, the glass forms an impermeable barrier that shields the underlying metal from environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation.

A modular bolted GFtS solution utilizes a color-fast fused glass coating on both its interior and exterior surfaces. This dual-layer protection ensures that the tank remains visually appealing and structurally sound throughout its service life. The color-fast property of the glass coating means that it retains its original appearance even after prolonged exposure to harsh conditions, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the installation site.

The fusion process results in a product that is exceptionally strong, durable, and resilient. The seamless bond between the glass and steel creates a monolithic structure that resists cracking, chipping, and peeling. This durability is particularly important in environments where the tanks are exposed to fluctuating temperatures, corrosive substances, or abrasive materials. For instance, in coastal areas with high salt content in the air, or in industrial settings with aggressive chemicals, GFtS tanks provide long-lasting performance without degradation.

GFtS tanks are environmentally friendly, as the manufacturing process uses fewer resources compared to traditional concrete or welded steel tanks. The materials are recyclable at the end of their life cycle, contributing to sustainability efforts. Moreover, the long service life of these tanks reduces the need for frequent replacements, further minimizing environmental impact.

Main Technical Parameter

Advantages

• High Strength and Durability

Glass fused to steel tanks are made from high-quality steel that can withstand high pressure and temperature. The use of bolts to fasten the tank's components provides a structurally sound and leak-tight enclosure.

• Versatility

Glass fused to steel tanks can be customized to meet specific requirements, such as size, capacity, and pressure rating. They can be designed for a variety of applications, including water storage, chemical processing, and power generation.

• Corrosion Resistance

The tanks are typically lined with a corrosion-resistant material to protect the steel from corrosion and wear. This extends the tank's lifespan and reduces the need for regular maintenance.

• Easy Installation

Glass fused to steel tanks can be installed in a wide range of locations, as they do not require special foundations or reinforced concrete supports. The use of bolts for fastening the components simplifies the installation process and reduces the need for special tools or equipment.

• Cost-Effective

Glass fused to steel tanks offer a cost-effective solution for storing liquids or gases under pressure. They require less material and labor compared to other types of tanks, making them more cost-effective in terms of both initial cost and long-term maintenance.
