Glass Fused Steel Tank - Enamel Steel Water Tanks - GFS ...

Glass Fused Steel Tank (GFS Tank)

Glass Fused Steel tank (GFS tanks) also known as Glass Lined Steel tanks (GLS tanks) that are built by using the GFS panels. These GFS panels are mild steel sheets that go through a process, where a layer of glass/silicate is fused on them. The key reason for fusing glass with steel is to enhance the overall durability of the panel. Single layered Steel is vulnerable to environmental conditions, causing earlier decomposition/corrosion of the material; hence the fusion of glass prevents that. After fusing the steel with glass, the strength increases, the acceptable bracket of PH value for alkaline solutions widens, and the resistance of abrasion inflates.

We also offer Glass fused steel tanks (Enamel steel water tanks) as per the RTP technology and latest fire safety standards for fire protection water storage tanks which meet FM Global & most major industry standards.

Glass Fused Steel Tank &#; Process and Technology

A layer of Glass is Fused into Steel tank panels which are lined inside and outside with glass enamel. The enamel is a solid, smooth, and shiny cover of silicate, fused to steel tank panels in a special furnace with temperatures ranging from 780 to 900 degrees Celsius. The steel panels that form the shell of the tanks become highly durable after they are processed with the infusion of glass coats on both the inner and outer layers of the panels. The sheets are later attached with special high-grade bolts and sealed by constantly flexible silicones (sealants).

Even the installation materials and shell accessories are processed thoroughly with surface treatment. These glass fused steel tanks are best for the storage of fluids of any nature or even solid materials. The specialty/USP of these tanks is that they are FM Global approved & are majorly being utilized as an industrial water storage tank. The GFS/GLS tanks are also a primary requirement that needs to be installed at premises dealing in environmental technology facilities like Waste Water Treatment, Fire fighting Water storage, and Anaerobic Digester Tank.

Quality Assurance and Standards

Every sheet/panel goes through thorough stringent quality checking at the manufacturing facility; for the enamel/glass layer quality by using the POROSCOPE (DEZ 4.13) and PINHOLE (DEZ 4.12) test according to DIN ISO . The chemical resistance and physical properties are also tested according to DIN. Our panels even comply with the highest quality standards in accordance with the methodology by the German Enameller&#;s Association (DEZ). Other than that our FM Global approved tanks are best for any industrial usage.

Furthermore you can choose our Glass-coated steel tanks from four standard colours; Green (RAL ), Brown (RAL ), White (RAL ), and Blue (RAL ).

GLS Tanks / Glass Fused To Steel (GFS) Storage Tank Manufacturers

GLS tanks mean the tanks of Glass Lined Steel Tanks, also known as certain tanks of Glass Fused Steel (GFS). Glass is fused with steel in order to strengthen its properties. Fusion is important because it is single steel and for the environment. When the fusion of steel with glass is finished, the strength increases and the abrasion resistance decreases, as does an appropriate pH value bracket for alkaline solutions.

Such tanks are often considered to be one of the essential components of environmental technologies such as anaerobic digester tank, waste water treatment and fire-restraint storage. They are an industrial water storage tanks.

The glass fused in to the panels of stainless steel tanks is coated with glass enamel both inside and outside. The enamel has a solid, bright and smooth silicate cover.

• This is fused into a special oven with a temperature of 780 to 900 ° C.
• The tank is made of a two-layer glass, fusioned surface on both sides, and has a rounded rim of steel.
• The sheets are secured by high quality bolts as well as by flexible silicon screening.
• Through support of surface treatment, the connecting materials and the shell accessories are fitted. Therefore, the fused glass tanks are excellent at fluid storage and material loss.

GLS/GFS tanks features :

• These tanks are known for their high abrasion resistance and for their chemical composition. A prefabricated GLS tank can be relocated very quickly. Glass-lined steel tanks are known to last more than 60 years if they are used properly.
• GLS / GFS tanks are known to provide fast and flexible construction times and maintenance arrangements, which provide a viable financial substitute for conventional tank building, water or effluent installations.
• The tanks provide cost-effective and fast installations, which contribute further to the reduction of project schedules, costs and need of on-site equipment. Such tanks help ensure safe as well as stable storage with negligible maintenance costs.
• It has been shown that, because of its first-class glass enamel finish, glass fused into stainless steel tanks also offer the benefits of high protection. Epoxy coated tanks have often to be repaired, but this is not the case for steel fused glass. GLS / GFS tanks can easily be bought at a very reasonable price in individual options.
• When installing glass in steel tanks, you can see that, thanks to its hygienic and corrosion-resistant finish, it matches the standard grades of stainless steel. Glass fused into steel tanks is a high carbon steel strength in order to provide a more cost effective solution. In contrast to soldered or concrete tanks, glass fused to steel technology has a proven lifetime value.
• The fused glass tanks are useful for holding extra material and liquids. The great thing about these tanks is that they are FM licensed internationally, and they can be used as a storehouse tank for industrial water. There are also tanks for the extraction of bio-methane and water wastewater. Glass fused tanks are also quickly mounted as this tank requires no manpower and few equipment on the site.

Glass Fused To Steel (GFS) Applications :

A glass bonded with stainless steel is luxury and fantastic technology for a long time on the entire tank market. Silica glass coating is a smooth, inert barrier to the outside and interior surfaces of tanks that protect against corrosion and the environment on a manufacturer&#;s harvestor, aqua shop, nutristor, and slurry stores forms. The combination of thickness and consistency of glass ensures that tanks work safely for a long time to protect them against any environment and corrosion.
