What is a tanker and its types of use

Tanker or tank is the best option for transporting and storing fuel and all kinds of liquids. Tankers have different dimensions, types and models depending on the need and type of liquid to be transported. ST37 steel sheet is usually used in the tanker industry, most of the tankers are made of black steel sheet because the steel has a high resistance to possible impacts while driving and it can be easily shaped. In different sizes and shapes, they are connected to each other by electric welding or carbon dioxide welding. The thickness of the steel sheet for tanker construction is about three millimeters to higher thicknesses, and for different users and industries, different insulation and piping are used, for example, in a tanker carrying bitumen, insulation and a burner are needed, while for a tanker carrying acid, it must be made of steel. Used to be resistant to acid corrosion.

Every car and device that has the ability to move and do work needs fuel. Fuel, which has different types and is different for each device, must be stored somewhere separate from our living environment, because whatever fuel is toxic and harmful to humans. Oil, gasoline, fuel oil and diesel, each of which is considered a type of fuel, must be transported by fuel tanker because they are flammable and produce dangerous gases. The fuel tanker is made of steel sheet with a thickness of three millimeters and a lens of four millimeters. These tankers have three exits that improve the refueling and unloading process.

All over the world, it is normal to transport water, gasoline or bitumen, but if your cargo is sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, then the problem is different. Acid, which is very widely used in mines. It has corrosive properties and it is not easy to carry it, on the other hand, it causes serious problems for humans and their surroundings. If this corrosive substance is combined with water, it can easily become a strong explosive. Therefore, to transport and store acid, special tankers must be used, i.e. acid tankers. These tankers are also made of ST37 steel sheet, with the difference that the thickness of the sheet and lens for acid tankers is five millimeters and the capacity of these tankers. It varies depending on the density of the acid.

Humans always need to save water because water plays a very prominent role in human daily life. For this reason, it is very important to keep water away from sunlight, germs and negative environmental factors. Research shows that for long-term storage of water, it is necessary to store water in galvanized steel tanks. The steel protects the water from rotting and the water is safe for hundreds of days. Galvanized steel tankers are very resistant to environmental factors such as direct sunlight, wind and rain and external factors such as impact or fragility, and these tankers are very strong against moisture and rust due to galvanization, and the tanker can also be used in He ordered different sizes and outputs with different colors. Of course, water tankers, which are also known as multi-purpose tankers, are a good option for spraying and watering green areas and fire rescue operations, even these tankers can be cleaned and sterilized with steam and water can be supplied to areas that are deprived of drinking water. .

The tankers that we talked about so far were made of steel, but another type of tanker is produced with a different gender, which must be observed in the handling of liquids. Steel tankers are used to transport raw materials of food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as the production line of factories, and the body is in direct contact with the liquid inside the tanker. For this reason, it must be washed periodically to reduce the percentage of possible risks. These stainless steel tankers are generally single-walled and double-walled and are made of stainless steel. Single-walled steel tankers are used for transporting fluids that are not affected by the ambient temperature, and double-walled steel tankers are used for fluids that are affected by changes in ambient temperature. become Also, these tanks have different shapes and capacities according to the type of use

Rail tankers or tanker wagons are tankers that look like wagons and ride on rails. These tankers are also made of ST37 steel, which is used to transport fuel and export fuel in large volumes. Tanker wagons are about thirteen meters long, three meters wide and have a capacity of 63,000 liters, and one of the distinguishing features of this product is the ability to carry dozens of tankers on one route, while each driver can only transport one tanker on a specific route with a trailer. It is easy to transport and manage, which is economical for the export of tanker wagons, and it also saves a lot of time and manpower. It should be mentioned that these tankers produce less pollutants and are relatively safe for the environment, and also do not carry the waste produced by heavy vehicles.
