Tank Steel Plate Description

Low-carbon,  or mild, steel contains between 0.05% and 0.15% carbon. Because of  this, it is quite malleable and can be easily bent, rolled, and welded  into desired shapes. This flexible quality makes it easy to form the  basic “disc and donut” assemblies that are used to create many finished  storage tanks from carbon steel plates.

As  a relatively inexpensive material that meets the requirements for most  storage applications, mild carbon steel is a great choice for tanks  designed for chemical, fuel, oil, and water storage. Depending on the  material stored, carbon steel tanks can also be lined with different  types of epoxy, polyurethane or rubber in order to prevent corrosion and  leakage.

Some  above-ground and below-ground steel bulk storage tanks used for storing  flammable liquids, such as oil or petroleum, may also require double  walls to protect the surrounding environment from potential leaks.
