Studying The Effect of Low Temperature on Adhesion Strength of Internal Lining Coating for Steel Liquid Gas Storage Tanks

Abstract

Metal storage tanks for liquid gas are unstable at low temperature (below zero degreecentigrade), because the metal tends to be brittle and susceptible to crack. In this researchstudying some physical properties such as shrinkage, adhesion force and coating layer thicknessof aluminum powder with ethyl silicate as a binder were performed. The results shown, that thecoating with such layer has excellent resistance to low temperature and impermeable to liquidgas for example, propane, methane and nitrogen a suitable coating layer thickness is (5mm). Thedata and results were optimized by using Taguchi / ANOVA Technique
