Vertical Bladder Tank

Supplied by Chemguard.

The Chemguard Bladder Tank is one component in a balanced pressure foam proportioning system.  It requires no external power, other than the water pressure to ensure correct operation.  The vertical and horizontal bladder tanks are designed and constructed in accordance with the latest revisions to ASME code, Section VIII for unfired pressure vessels with a working pressure of 175 psi and tested to 1.3 times this pressure.

SPECIFICATIONS

The tank shell is constructed of steel, complying with ASME specifications, possessing a tensile strength of not less than 70,000 psi.  The circumferential, as well as the longitudinal body seam, are machine welded.  The tank interior welds and edges are ground smooth.

The tank shell water inlet and tank shell water drain is screened to prevent bladder blow out or the entrapment of debris between the tank shell and the bladder.

The vertical tank assembly is supported by four legs with access to the bladder drain/fill valve and the tank shell drain/fill valve.  Four feet are provided for anchoring the tank.  The horizontal assembly is supported on two saddles welded to the tank and fitted with anchoring holes.

FEATURES
