Overview of Pressure Tanks

Pressure tanks are a crucial component in various applications, including high-rise buildings, industrial systems, and irrigation setups. These tanks are designed to store water or other fluids under pressure, ensuring a reliable and efficient way to manage fluid flow. Available in different sizes, configurations, and materials, pressure tanks are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s maintaining water pressure in a high-rise building or managing fluid flow in an industrial system, pressure tanks play an essential role in ensuring consistent and efficient operation.

Key Features of pressure tanks:

• Thicker gauge steel for enhanced strength and structural integrity

• Quality tested during every stage of the production process

• High-grade butyl diaphragm design for longevity and durability

• Virgin polypropylene liner for hygienic water storage

• Leak-free, O-ring sealed air valve cap

• Free O-ring sealed components to ensure leak resistance

• Patented stainless steel water connection and reinforced connection plate

• Dual-layer polyurethane paint finish for corrosion resistance

• Temperature rated up to 90°C

• Certified for maximum working pressure at 25 bar / 363 psi

 

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of pressure tanks can vary depending on the model and manufacturer, but some common features include:

• Maximum working pressure: The Max Series can handle up to 16 bar (232 psi), while the UltraMax Series is rated for up to 25 bar (363 psi).

• Factory pre-charge: Both series come with a factory pre-charge of 4.0 bar (58 psi), ensuring they are ready for immediate use.

• Maximum operating temperature: These tanks can operate at temperatures up to 90° C (194° F), making them suitable for various demanding environments.

• Materials: Constructed from thicker gauge steel and high-quality materials, these tanks offer exceptional durability and resistance to pressure surges and water hammer.

• Connections: Featuring 1” BSPT and 1” BSPP connections, along with a patented stainless steel water connection and reinforced connection plate, these tanks ensure secure and leak-free operation.

• Dimensions: Available in various sizes and configurations, including vertical and inline models, to meet the specific needs of different applications.

Suited for high pressure applications:

• High-rise buildings

• Hotels, hospitals, and schools

• Deep private water supplies

• Long distant agricultural supply

• Booster systems and fire protection systems

• Industrial and commercial systems

When it comes to GWS products, the Max™ and UltraMax™ series pressure tanks stand out for their consistent performance, quality, and dependability across all high pressure systems.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of pressure tanks. Here are some guidelines:

• Installation: Pressure tanks should be installed in a location that is easily accessible for maintenance and inspection. The tank should be level and securely fastened to the floor or wall to prevent movement or vibration.

• Maintenance: Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the tank remains in good condition. This includes checking the tank’s pressure, inspecting the connections and valves, and performing any necessary repairs or replacements.

• Quality testing: All GWS products, including pressure tanks, undergo quality testing throughout the production process to ensure structural integrity and performance.

• Zero-maintenance design: Some pressure tanks, such as the GWS UltraMax 100L 25 Bar Vertical High Pressure Vessel, feature a zero-maintenance design, making them ideal for applications where maintenance is not feasible or desirable.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your pressure tank operates efficiently and reliably, providing consistent performance for many years.
