<p>The invention relates to a large-volume storage tank (100, 100') that comprises a closing section (200, 200', 200'') closed by a bottom (210, 210', 210''), another closing section (200, 200', 200'') or a bottom (400) and/or at least one intermediate section (300, 300', 300''), at least two of these neighbouring components being connected together by a junction means (500) including two collars (510) formed on the free annular ends of the two components and being opposite to each other, a plurality of bolts extending through both collars (510) for connecting the same. According to the invention, the junction means (500) includes a plurality of washers (522) mounted on the screws of the bolts (520) and provided between both collars (510) in order to define therebetween an annular volume (532) for receiving a sealing means (530). With this structure, the different components of the tank can be easily and very economically assembled and a calibrated width provision is contemplated for receiving a sealing means.</p> |
