Safety

We pursue the best system through strict design criteria, quality management, and reliable structural strength analysis.
The basic of structure analysis is designed by safety factors against threshold values. We know-how lies in the optimal safety factor in consideration of external force in the design that is expected base on physical properties after long-term use of SMC material. In designing, the tanks ignores initial value(100%) of the physical properties of SMC material
and considers the safety factor to a minimum value(70%). Therefore, our water tank guarantees long-term endurance.

Items Design Conditions
Earthquake Lateral Seismic Coefficient KH=1/3G
intensity of illumination less than 0.1%
Design Conditions Hydrostatic Pressure
Wind Velocity: 60m/sec. 134 mph
Snow load: 60kgf/m2 or 12.3 lb/ft2
Man load: 120kgf or 265 lb
Seismic load: Horizontal
SeismicCoefficient: Kh=0.3

Water temperature 60˚C (max) or 104˚F, this could be increased to 80˚C or 176˚F with special sealant.

Anchor bolts shall be used to tie down a tank at the designed points.

Note:
1. Panel strength is the actual bursting’ pressure
2. Design can also be made for Kh 2/3, 1.0 and 1.5

Design Structure

Internal Reinforcement System

The excellent strength, durability and water tightness of the MULTANK are obtained by connecting inner panels with stainless steel braces & tie-rods are installed inside of the tank to improve the strength and stability of the tank structure. Corrosionproof PE heat treated stainless steel tie-rods and GRP tie - rods are applied.

Internal Stay Configuration

1. Materials
2. Inner stay configuration Minimize the transformation of the side(transformation of 1% or less of the tank height), and it should be so designed as to improve the safety and life of tanks.

External Reinforcement System

MULTANK exterior reinforcement system refers to a system that has been designed to withstand stress that occurs due to the hydraulic pressure exerted on the outer part of the tank.
