Oil Storage Tanks


Firstly, what model of the electric heating strip should be chosen?
When selecting electric heat tracing products in the fields of oil pipelines, oil storage tanks, natural gas, and chemical engineering, full consideration should be given to their flammable and explosive characteristics, and safety should be placed in the first category of consideration. Explosion-proof and anti-corrosion electric heat tracing products should be selected for construction to solve this safety hazard, and then special parameter designs should be further designed according to the actual installation environment requirements. For example, other sheath requirements need to be targeted to meet different usage environments, Achieving better electric heating efficiency is the ultimate result.
Secondly, how to determine the winding method of the electric heat tracing tape for oil storage tanks?
There are two types of winding methods for electric heat tracing tape applied to storage tanks. ① Horizontal rotation and wrapping up or down; ② Install vertically in a roundabout manner. The oil storage tank wall area designed for this electric heat tracing project is relatively large, and the first heat tracing winding scheme is rotated.
Later: Difficulty in fixing electric heating strips
It is necessary to stick the electric heat tracing strip on the outer side of the pipe wall, which requires the entire scheme to have a good fixing effect. There are also two common fixing methods. The first is to use thermosensitive tape for fixing construction, and the second is a stainless steel strip.
