Horizontal Stainless Steel Storage Tank

Horizontal stainless steel storage tank is a horizontal sealed pressure vessel made of 316L (S31603) austenitic stainless steel through rolling, automatic welding, polishing, pickling passivation and pressure testing. It belongs to Class I pressure vessel, realizing long-term stable storage of non-toxic and non-explosive liquid and gas materials relying on four core principles: sealed isolation, pressure balance, structural pressure bearing and anti-corrosion. The horizontal cylinder and elliptic head structure lower the center of gravity and improve stability, matching with saddle supports suitable for ground and vehicle-mounted scenarios. It is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, fine chemical, grain & oil and other fields with high requirements for hygiene and corrosion resistance. As a core industrial fluid safety storage equipment certified by China Standardization Administration, AIX Boiler, as an original factory, strictly follows the specifications of Standardization Administration of China, independently controlling the whole process of design, manufacturing, testing and installation to ensure safe, compliant and reliable products.

1. AIX Boiler Brand & Original Factory Core Advantages

AIX Boiler is a comprehensive chemical equipment manufacturer integrating R&D, design, production, installation, commissioning and EPC service, specializing in stainless steel tanks, carbon steel tanks, pressure vessels and other equipment. We have standardized intelligent workshops, certified welding and NDT teams, complete forming and pressure testing equipment, realizing independent production from stainless steel plate procurement and re-inspection, CNC cutting, rolling, welding, polishing, pickling passivation, hydrostatic test to finished product delivery without middlemen, providing higher cost performance and more controllable delivery time with the same quality. With years of deep cultivation in the storage tank industry, our products have passed many authoritative tests, complying with food hygiene and pressure vessel safety standards, serving thousands of enterprises nationwide, winning market trust with stable quality, professional technology and perfect service, becoming a trustworthy brand manufacturer in the field of horizontal stainless steel storage tanks.

2. Basic Principle & Structural Features

Horizontal stainless steel storage tank adopts horizontal cylindrical structure + elliptic head design, relying on steel strength to bear internal pressure and external load, preventing leakage through full welding seal, ensuring material purity by using 316L stainless steel with acid, alkali and oxidation resistance and no precipitation, matching with saddle supports to achieve stable support and thermal expansion and contraction compensation. It has the characteristics of low center of gravity, good seismic resistance, convenient installation and suitable for narrow space. The tank is standard equipped with manhole, inlet & outlet, level gauge port, drain port, exhaust port, and can be equipped with breathing valve, safety valve, cleaning ball, insulation layer and other components to meet storage, monitoring, cleaning and temperature control requirements of different working conditions. AIX Boiler horizontal stainless steel storage tanks are Class I pressure vessels suitable for non-toxic and non-explosive media, with hygienic polishing treatment, easy to clean without dead corners, complying with GMP and food grade standards.
