Welded Tanks

Welded MS (Mild Steel) tank is a type of storage tank made from mild steel plates that are welded together to form a sturdy and durable container. Here are some key characteristics:

- Material: Mild steel (MS) is a type of carbon steel with a low carbon content, making it versatile and affordable.

- Welding: The steel plates are welded together using various welding techniques, such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), or submerged arc welding (SAW).

- Applications: Welded MS tanks are commonly used for storing liquids, gases, and solids in various industries, including:

? Oil and gas

? Chemical processing

? Water treatment

? Food processing

? Agriculture

- Advantages:

? Strong and durable

? Can withstand high pressures and temperatures

? Cost-effective

? Can be designed to meet specific requirements

- Disadvantages:

? May corrode if not coated or lined properly

? Welds can be susceptible to defects or leaks if not done properly

? May require additional maintenance or lining for certain applications

Overall, welded MS tanks offer a reliable and affordable solution for storage needs in various industries. However, proper design, fabrication, and maintenance are crucial to ensure their longevity and safety.

MS (Mild Steel) tank manufacturing follows various standards to ensure quality, safety, and durability. Here are some of the common standards followed:

1. IS 803 (Indian Standard): Code of practice for design, fabrication, testing, and installation of mild steel storage tanks.

2. ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Section VIII: Rules for the design, fabrication, and inspection of pressure vessels, including tanks.

3. API 650 (American Petroleum Institute): Standard for welded steel tanks for oil storage.

4. BS 2594 (British Standard): Specification for welded steel tanks for the storage of liquids.

5. ISO 12944 (International Organization for Standardization): Paints and varnishes - Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems.

6. AWS D1.1 (American Welding Society): Structural Welding Code - Steel.

7. IS 2062 (Indian Standard): Specification for steel for general structural purposes.

These standards cover aspects such as:

- Material selection and testing

- Design and fabrication

- Welding and inspection

- Testing and certification

- Installation and maintenance

- Coating and corrosion protection
