High Anti-Corrosion GFS Fire Water Tank - Reliable China Suppliers & Factory Solutions
Description
Fire 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, they can ensure that long-term contact with fire-fighting water without causing corrosion, water pollution, or loss 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
- Low Carbon, High Strength, High Titanium.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are GFS tanks ideal for fire water storage?
GFS tanks are ideal because they prevent corrosion and microbial growth during long periods of water stagnation, ensuring the system is ready for immediate emergency use without water pollution or loss of structural strength.
What is the estimated service life of these tanks?
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are designed for long-term durability, offering a service life of more than 30 years with minimal maintenance required.
Can the tanks be relocated or expanded later?
Yes, due to their bolted construction, GFS tanks are highly flexible. They can be easily dismantled for relocation, expanded to increase capacity, or even recycled.
What pH levels can the GFS tank coating handle?
The standard grade coating handles a pH range of 3 to 11, while special grade coatings are available for more extreme environments ranging from pH 1 to 14.
How fast is the installation process?
The bolted design allows for fast installation with a significantly shorter construction period compared to traditional concrete or welded steel tanks, and it has lower environmental requirements for the construction site.
