Construction

The construction of tanks is in accordance with Directive PED 2014/68/UE and harmonized standards. The tanks are made of carbon steel plates, coated with high quality modern, eco-friendly, anticorrosion and polyurethane coating. These coatings meet the requirements of high tightness and are tested to stand electric breakdown of min. 14 kV. They are also covered with the quality and durability warranty. The so-called dome (well) made of plastic is mounted on the tank fittings allowing access to the valve and serves as its protection.

Fittings

Standard underground LPG tanks are equipped with the following fittings:

  • filling valve – DN32 globe valve plus REGO valve – 1 ¾ ACME connection to the road tanker,
  • DN50 liquid phase intake – DN32 globe valve plus excess flow valve,
  • returns of liquid and gas phases – DN32 globe valve plus return valve,
  • intake valve of the gas phase with pressure gauge and overflow pipe – connection for the 1 grade regulator, POL internal thread,

  • Rochester level sensor,
