Requirements for the application of stainless steel plates in chemical tank tanks



In the cargo holds of chemical tankers, stainless steel plates are widely used to improve the overall corrosion resistance. Because when chemical tankers are in use, they often transport hundreds or thousands of different chemical cargoes. Some chemical cargoes are highly corrosive or toxic, while others may be flammable or explosive, and even more Some even cause harm to the environment. In order to transport these chemicals safely and economically, the cargo tanks must meet the characteristics of high corrosion resistance, structural integrity and easy cleaning.

The high corrosion resistance of the stainless steel plates used is necessary to ensure the safe storage of chemical cargoes and freedom from contamination by corrosive cargoes. This requires that the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel plates will not be damaged during the construction of the cabin. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel panels can be compromised or reduced due to contamination, incorrect handling, or faulty construction methods. But using the right techniques and observing the necessary precautions, cabins built from stainless steel can last for many years without damage.

Secondly, the integrity of the stainless steel plate cabin structure is also very critical to the safety of the ship and environmental protection. Good design in this regard is equally important as correct construction. Using correct welding and processing techniques, defects that could compromise structural integrity can be avoided.

In addition, quick and easy cargo hold cleaning contributes to improved economy. The ease of cargo hold cleaning depends partly on the design of the hold, but also on whether the surface finishing work is good. To ensure that the cabin is easy to clean, the surface of the stainless steel cabin should be kept smooth, with no rough spots and corners that are difficult to clean. To achieve such standards, appropriate precautions must be taken during the storage and handling of materials, preforming and construction of bulkheads and assembly and welding of components.

Finally, it is necessary to consider the appearance of the stainless steel plate cabin. Although from a purely technical point of view, it is not completely necessary for the function of the cabin, practice shows that it is very important. Since the cabin is inspected by the inspector appointed by the cargo owner, the standard requirements for the cabin are actually very important to avoid disputes, because poor appearance can easily cause the inspector to require additional cleaning work before loading, which will affect the economy. benefit. So in general, a clean and tidy cabin not only shows the high level of craftsmanship, but also avoids unnecessary economic expenditure.
