Glass fused to steel (GFS) tanks are a type of storage tank made from two materials: glass and steel. The process of creating a GFS tank involves fusing glass to the surface of steel at high temperatures, resulting in a highly durable and corrosion-resistant tank.
Types of Glass Fused to Steel Tanks
There are two main types of GFS tanks: glass fused to steel tanks and GFS bolted tanks. The main difference between these two types of tanks is in how they are constructed and assembled.
A glass fused to steel tank is typically manufactured in a factory and delivered to the installation site in one piece. It is a single, monolithic structure that is bolted to a concrete foundation. Because it is manufactured in one piece, a GFS tank has no seams or joints that can weaken over time, making it highly durable and long-lasting.
On the other hand, a GFS bolted tank is constructed on-site from prefabricated steel panels that are bolted together to form the tank shell. The steel panels are then coated with glass fused to steel, creating a highly durable and corrosion-resistant tank. The advantage of a GFS bolted tank is that it can be installed in hard-to-reach locations and can be easily disassembled and relocated if necessary.
