Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology: Ideal for Fire Water Storage
At the heart of Center Enamel’s fire fighting water tanks is its Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology, sometimes referred to as glass-lined steel. This advanced coating process offers unmatched corrosion resistance, structural strength, and longevity.
How It Works
GFS tanks are manufactured by applying a special glass coating to high-strength steel plates and firing them at high temperatures between 820°C and 930°C. This process creates a chemical reaction between the steel and glass, forming a robust, permanent bond that combines:
Steel’s mechanical strength and flexibility
Glass’s superior corrosion resistance and chemical inertness
The resulting composite material creates a tank that is not only durable but also impervious to corrosion, ensuring long-term service even in harsh environments where fire water tanks are essential.
Advantages of GFS Fire Fighting Water Tanks
1. Corrosion Resistance
Fire water storage tanks often face challenges from stagnant water, dissolved minerals, and fluctuating temperatures. GFS tanks are highly resistant to these effects, maintaining structural integrity and preventing leaks over decades of operation.
2. Longevity and Durability
Center Enamel GFS tanks are designed with a service life of 30 years or more, making them a long-term investment for municipalities, industries, and commercial facilities. Unlike concrete or painted steel tanks, GFS tanks resist cracking, rusting, and coating degradation.
3. Water Impermeability
The glass coating is completely gas- and liquid-impermeable, ensuring that fire water remains uncontaminated and readily available during emergencies.
4. Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
The smooth, glossy enamel surface prevents bacterial growth and accumulation of sediments. Minimal maintenance is required, reducing operational costs and ensuring that water quality remains high at all times.
5. Modular Bolted Design
Unlike welded steel or concrete tanks, Center Enamel GFS tanks use a modular bolted assembly, allowing for:
Quick installation on-site
Reduced construction time
Easy maintenance and future expansion
Safe transportation to remote or challenging locations
Fire Water Tank Design and Specifications
Center Enamel’s fire fighting water tanks are engineered to comply with international standards and provide reliable performance under extreme conditions.
