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 stainless 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. 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...

We can choose   storage tanks   for rainwater. Traditional large storage tanks either use welded carbon steel tanks or structural concrete tanks. Both types of tanks perform well, but both have some serious drawbacks. Field-welded carbon steel tanks are difficult to guarantee 100 percent on-site rust removal and painting, which can lead to an increased likelihood of corrosion, while the tanks must be thoroughly inspected after welding is complete to ensure they do not leak. Concrete tanks are a huge project to build and require a lot of time and labor costs. The third option is a glass fused to steel tank, where all materials are produced by the factory and transported to the project site for bolting and assembly. Bolted glass fused to steel tanks have the strength of steel and the corrosion resistance of enamel, are quick to install and easy to maintain or repair.   Glass fused to steel tank  is assembled with special enamel steel plates and fixed with self-locking ...

Do you have to get up at 5 a.m. to fetch water before going out to work? Did you know that the city of Cape Town, South Africa, is nearing a state of no water and that many other cities are at risk of bottoming out? While you may be taking a shower right now, it takes a pregnant woman in a remote village in Rajasthan five hours to fetch a jug of water from a nearby river that discharges the city's stench and sewage. Such are the differences in our realities, yet, ironically, we are all headed for the same doom. No one is immune to the wrath of nature. Water is our life source and we must find sources to protect, treat and recycle it. Rainwater harvesting is a successful and cost effective method of collecting and storing rainwater, natural reservoirs and surface water infiltration into underground aquifers to avoid their runoff. Let us discuss the environmental benefits of rainwater collecting in more detail in the following sections.     Benefits of rainwater harvesting ...

GFS has the toughness and also flexibility of steel integrated with the deterioration resistance of glass, however with little of the usual brittleness of glass. This is due to the fact that as the steel cools complying with combination the glass is positioned under compression and continues to be under compression even when the steel flexes. Glass goes to its toughest under compression.   The ended up plate shows the attributes of a true composite product in which the fine glass matrix eliminates tensions as well as protects against split propagation.   We have a sample of glass magnified by 100 times under the light microscope. If we take an also closer check out the glass/steel boundary we can see that the glass and also the steel have actually truly integrated together developing a highly keyed interface which makes for a very strong physical bond in between the two components.   Contrast this with a manufacturing facility applied epoxy layer at the same zoom and you ...
