<p>In storage tanks for liquids including relatively large, stationary tanks on land for the storage of liquefied gases (e.g. natural gas, ethylene and ammonia) at or below ambient temperature and at or above atmospheric pressure, as well as to small transporting tanks (e.g. for road tankers) and fuel tanks for motor vehicles, the side and end walls are provided by a single tier of connected lobes 2, 3, in that said lobes extend in one common direction over the tank, in that the end walls of the tank comprise curved knuckles closing off the ends of the part-cylindrical lobes, and in that a separating plate 9 is provided at each lobe connection to strengthen the tank against internal pressure, all of said plates defining an opening so that the tank provides a single storage compartment capable of storing liquid under pressure with virtually no additional stiffening or strengthening members. <IMAGE></p> |
