Storage tanks
Stainless Steel Solutions for Storage Tanks
Storage tanks often face wear due to corrosive environments and mechanical stress. Our stainless steel plates, sheets, and coils offer the durability needed to combat these challenges.
The service challenge
In storage tank applications, corrosion and sliding abrasion are common wear mechanisms that can lead to early failures, particularly in welded joints and exposed surfaces. These areas are often the first to show signs of wear, requiring prompt attention to maintain integrity.

Questions engineers ask
What grade is best for high corrosion environments?
S31603 is ideal due to its excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
How important is thickness in wear applications?
Thickness plays a crucial role in durability; a thicker grade can provide better impact resistance.
Can I cut the plates to custom sizes?
Yes, we provide cut-to-order services based on your specifications.
What certifications do you provide?
Every release ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate, ensuring traceability.
