The Aquastore® line of storage tanks is a Glass-Fused-to-Steel, bolted steel tank, which meets AWWA D-103, ANSI/NSF Std 61, AISC, FM Codes, and NFPA Std 22. Aquastore® tanks are found in virtually every segment of the liquid storage market, and represent the best choice for long term, minimal maintenance liquid storage.
The glass coating is factory applied at a thickness of 6-11 mils on the interior and exterior surfaces, and the process actually mechanically and chemically bonds the coating to the steel. In conjunction with the glass coat, the edges of the steel sheets are treated using the Edgecoat system. The edgecoating process mechanically rounds the edges of each sheet and then flame coats the edge with stainless steel. The final product is a Glass-Fused-to-Steel sheet that is impermeable to liquids and vapors and is extremely successful in controlling undercutting caused by corrosion. Surprising to some, Glass-Fused-to-Steel is also remarkably impact resistant. This durable coating is twice as hard (6.0-7.0 Mohs) as any field-applied coating system and has a bond rating 12.5 times stronger than any zinc-epoxy-urethane system (5000 PSI).
Aquastore® tanks are an extremely durable product and represent the best in quality and technology that the liquid storage market has to offer.
