Things You Should Know About Cement Storage Tanks

Cement is a powdery water-hardening inorganic gelling material. After mixing with water, it can be hardened in air or water, and can firmly put sand, stone and other materials together. The word “cement” comes from the Latin word “caementum”, meaning gravel and rubble. In early years, the mixture of lime and volcanic ash is very similar to lime pozzolanic cement, use it to glue concrete which made of crushed stone. After hardening, the cement not only has high strength, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water. For a long time, it has been used as a kind of important cementing material, widely used in civil construction, water conservancy, national defense and other projects. Nowadays, cement storage tanks are widely used all around the world. It's very useful and helpful to know more about them.

Cement Classification According To Main Hydraulic Material

  1. Portland cement
  2. Aluminate cement
  3. Sulphoaluminate cement
  4. Aluminoferrite cement
  5. Fluoraluminate cement
  6. Phosphate cement
  7. Cement with volcanic ash or latent hydraulic material and other active material as main component.
In 2012, China's cement production reached two billion one hundred and eighty-four million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the global output. In the home decoration, the floor tiles, wall tiles paste and masonry are needed for cement. It can not only enhance the adsorption ability of the material surface, but also can protect the internal structure, at the same time can be used as a building surface leveling blanket. So in the building of each house, cement is an essential material.

Cement Storage Attention:


  • Avoid damp knot hard: Wet and hard cement will reduce or even loss the original strength.
  • Avoid insolation: After insolation, water in cement will quickly evaporate. Its strength will be reduced, or even completely lost.
  • Avoid negative temperature and cold: When used at low temperature, cement can not be hydration, and will form crisp crack.
  • Avoid high temperature and heat: Under high temperature, calcium hydroxide of cement will break down, its strength will be reduced.
  • Avoid acid corrosion: Neutralization happens when acidic substances is mixed with calcium hydroxide in cement, the products is loose and expansive which is easy to be hydrolyzed after water. And it is easy to cause cement corrosion disintegration.

Structure Forms of Steel Silo Roof

图片
The silo roof is the structure that closes the top of the silo, Its shape is generally hemispherical or arched. The silo roof is one of the major auxiliary works for the steel silo construction. However, what is the specific structure of the silo roof? This article will give you the answer. Silo Roof Types There are three basic structural forms of the roof of the steel silo, which are the profiled steel frame roof, truss roof, and grid roof. The choice of the roof is mainly determined by the span of the steel silo and the equipment load at the top of the silo. Steel skeleton roof is generally used for steel silo whose span is less than 27 meters and its roof equipment load is less than 50KN, and there is no horizontal force. The truss roof is usually used when the silo span is 27 to 50 meters, the roof load is less than 200KN, and there is no horizontal force. And when the silo span exceeds 50 meters, the roof load exceeds 200KN, and there is a horizontal force and

Grain Silo Introduction

Grain Silo There are three types of storage facilities commonly used by grain companies: brick warehouses,  spiral steel silos  and reinforced concrete silos. Except for some small-scale factories that use brick warehouses, large and medium-sized factories both prefer the latter two types of storage facilities. Steel silos were first widely used in Europe and America. The  steel silo for grain storage  originated in the early 20th century. By the end of the 1970s, steel silos had virtually replaced any other type of granary. Especially in the United States, Canada, and other developed countries, steel silos have become the mainstream silo type of granaries. Because of its many advantages, such as less investment, short construction period, and small floor space, the steel silo have become the preferred warehouse type for grain storage and have broad market prospects. What are the advantages of using steel silos to store grain? At present, grain companies mostly choose thin-

The Advantages of Spiral Silo Compared to Traditional Storage Tanks

1. What Is Spiral Steel Silo Tank Technology? The spiral storage silo is also called lipp tank, it was invented and named by a Germen engineer in the 1970s. Through decades of development, it has already become the most advanced tank construction technology around the world. It uses a double seam system, this technology created a special way to build a storage tank. 2. What Are Traditional Tank Construction Technologies? The traditional storage tanks include concrete tank, welded tank and bolted tank. 1) The concrete tank is the oldest storage tank. The materials  used to build a concrete tank include steel bar, cement, sand, gravel and water. 2) Bolted tanks are steel made, with 6mm-10mm steel bolting, they can be very strong. 3) Welded storage tanks are also called welded steel tanks. they are made of welded steel plates whose thicknesses can range from 4mm to 10mm. 3. The Advantages of Spiral Storage Silo Compared to the traditional storage tanks, spiral storage sil
