China Fire Water Storage Tank Suppliers - Durable Glass Fused to Steel & Epoxy Coated Steel Factory
Description
Firefighting water storage is a special system that remains stationary most of the time, but must be put into immediate use in an emergency. In this situation, attention must be paid to issues such as microbial growth, sediment accumulation, and increased water corrosivity. Due to the material properties of GFS tanks and epoxy coated steel tanks, they can ensure that long-term contact with fire-fighting water without causing corrosion, water pollution, or less of strength.
The Glass fused to steel (GFS) tank is a kind of bolted storage tank made from two materials: glass and steel. High-strength TRS (titanium-rich steel) plates and enamels are perfectly fused at high temperatures to form a highly inert inorganic glaze layer. This coating system has excellent anti-corrosion properties.
Material Characteristics of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks
The steel substrate employed in the construction of glass-fused-to-steel tanks is a special high strength enamelled steel with a unique design and superior properties. Its mechanical properties, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, far exceed those of conventional steel sheets.

(Enamel plate)
The epoxy coated steel bolted tanks (FBE tanks) are made of steel panel which coated with the fusion bonded epoxy internally and externally. High-strength bolts were used for on-site connection and sealing assembly, so that it can achieve efficient corrosion protection and rapid construction, and is widely used in the field of environmental water treatment.

Features Of Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks
Wide chemical resistance: It can withstand corrosion from various acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents. Long-term stability: Not easily aged in complex environments.
Robust structure with high hardness and impact strength. Smooth inner walls are suitable for suspensions with solid particles.
Significantly lighter than concrete tanks, reducing costs. Modular design allows for rapid on-site assembly.
Electrical insulation makes it suitable for special electronics or power industry applications.
Custom shapes (vertical/horizontal) and sizes to suit different space requirements.
No regular anti-corrosion coating application required. Smooth walls prevent material buildup.
Non-toxic food-grade resin options available for drinking water. Flame retardant options meet fire safety requirements.
Fire water storage tank made by epoxy coated steel
In short, if the layout is sufficient, transportation conditions are good, and maximum corrosion protection is desired, GFS tanks (enamel tanks) can be chosen; however, given current trends and technological maturity, epoxy resin tanks are a more suitable choice for high-tonnage fire-fighting water storage tanks.
