GFS Sealant Tank

Glass Fused Steel SEALANT Tank (GFS Tank)

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, also known as Glass Lined Steel (GLS) tanks, indeed represent a premium technology in the tank market. The fusion of glass and high-tensile mild steel combines the best properties of both materials. Steel provides strength and flexibility, while glass offers corrosion resistance. This fusion eliminates the need for regular painting in the future, as the tank is inherently protected against corrosion.

The Design Standards followed for Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks –

AWWA D103-09: This standard is published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and provides guidelines for the design, construction, and inspection of bolted steel tanks for water storage.

PROCESS & TECHNOLOGY

A brief process of creating Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks involves several precise steps to ensure the quality and integrity of the finished product:

         1. Nuts & bolt holes & manhole drilling / punching 

         2. Shot blasting process

         3. Enamelling Process

         4. Quality check

Here’s an overview of the typical quality check process – 

  • Spark Test
  • DFT
  • Impact test

5. Installation process:

Leakproof by –

  • Sealing Joints using Sealant: prepared panels are bolted together using hot-dipped galvanized high-tensile nuts & bolts, which are selected for their strength and resistance to corrosion. External & internal PP caps on nut & bolts are applied to protect from environmental factors, corrosion & tampering. 

To prevent any water leakage, all bolted joints are sealed using a PU sealant. This sealant helps create a watertight seal between the panels, ensuring the integrity of the tank structure.

Types of Roofs We offer-

         1. Zincalume/ FBEC Dome Roof

         2. Zincalume/ FBEC/ GFS Conical Roof

         3. Flat Liner Roof

         4. Double membrane liner roof

         5. GFS fixed leakproof roof

Overall, these meticulous processes and components work together to create high-quality Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks that are durable, reliable, and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for various industrial, municipal, and agricultural applications.
