Glass Fused to Steel Tanks

Summary of Problems Encountered in the Construction of GFS Tanks

May 19, 2025


Glass-fused-to-steel tanks are a type of modular storage tank widely used in industries such as livestock farming, chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment. During the construction process of glass-fused-to-steel tanks, various issues may arise. Addressing these issues is crucial to ensuring product quality and construction effectiveness. This article summarizes the common problems encountered during the construction of glass-fused-to-steel tanks and proposes corresponding solutions.

1. Leakage Issues
Leakage may occur during the construction process due to inadequate sealing performance. To resolve this, the sealing parts of the tank should be thoroughly inspected and maintained to ensure proper sealing. Additionally, stricter construction standards and inspection methods should be adopted to ensure the tank meets sealing requirements.

2. Enamel Chipping (Spalling)
During use, enamel chipping may occur, often caused by improper surface treatment. The solution is to apply more rigorous surface treatment and inspection procedures to ensure a smooth, scratch-free, and bubble-free enamel coating. Using more wear-resistant enamel coatings can also improve the durability of the tank.

3. Damage During Transportation and Installation
Damage may occur during transportation and installation due to external mechanical forces. To prevent this, enhanced packaging and securing methods should be employed to protect the tank from external impact. Furthermore, regular inspection and maintenance should be carried out to detect and repair any damage in a timely manner.

In summary, various problems may arise during the construction of glass-fused-to-steel tanks. Solving these issues requires a deeper understanding of the manufacturing process and quality standards. It also requires improved inspection and maintenance procedures to ensure the tank performs as expected and achieves its intended service life. It is hoped that this summary will provide valuable reference and assistance for the construction and use of glass-fused-to-steel tanks.
