Horizontal FRP Vessel

Fiberglass horizontal storage tanks are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and installed with their main axis parallel to the ground . They are typically manufactured as a single unit in the factory and then transported to the site for installation and use. The main manufacturing process involves fixed-length winding combined with hand lay-up to produce end caps and installation accessories.

Structural design features

Tank body :

Cylinder : Typically manufactured using a winding process, primarily circumferential winding, to provide circumferential strength against internal pressure. Axial strength is provided by the superposition effect of multiple layers of cross-winding or circumferential winding.

Heads : Typically elliptical or dished heads . This streamlined design facilitates stress distribution and provides significantly better pressure resistance than flat heads. Heads are mostly produced by hand lay-up or compression molding.
