Iron and steel is a basic product used by many sectors from construction to energy, agriculture and animal husbandry to transportation. The demand for iron and steel, which started with the industrial revolution, has been increasing steadily since the 1990s. Steel is the most widely used metal alloy. Materials that are deformed by corrosive effects due to climatic conditions have to be scrapped. The fact that iron and steel products are not useful in this way both damages the national economy and causes environmental impacts.
What Does Hot Dip Galvanizing Do?
It is therefore necessary and important to protect them with an environmentally friendly and low-cost method. Paint and bitumen coatings are sometimes preferred. However, due to the need for regular maintenance, it is not desired due to its long life and cost. Instead, hot-dip galvanizing, a metallic coating method, provides a better solution.
Advantages of Hot Dip Galvanizing
It helps to prevent global warming as it is an environmentally friendly material that completely dissolves in nature. It does not require maintenance and repair for long periods of time. Increases the strength of the applied surfaces. It is a fast and practical coating method. It ensures that all detail points and areas inaccessible with paint coating are evenly covered. Protects the coated materials against abrasion, crushing, breaking and scratching.
Hot Dip Galvanized Usage Areas
Hot dip galvanized water tanks are widely used as storage equipment for drinking water, domestic water, rainwater storage, purified water and fire water in mining, residential buildings, hotels, office buildings, schools, restaurants to meet the need for backup water. Hot dip galvanized water tanks are used in industrial plants, national defense projects, condensate water storage in cooling and heating systems. Building construction sector; Modular water tanks, roof covers, stairs, stair railings, scaffolding, cylindrical water tanks, steel pools, cable ducts, fasteners such as bolts, screws and nuts, boilers such as boilers, booster and spherical tanks, bridges, tunnels and underground construction support elements. Transportation sector; highway barriers, railway rails, aircraft parts. Agriculture sector; irrigation equipment, steel livestock farm structures, greenhouse poles. Energy sector; used in transmission lines, wind panels. Roofing sector; used in light steel structures, prefabricated structures, hangar structure coatings. Urban furniture; steel wires, wire fences, benches, garbage containers and bins, advertising signs, lighting poles Food industry; freezer equipment, cooling cabinets, cutting machines, food production and stock silos.
Hot Dip Galvanizing Process
Hot dip galvanizing is the process of zincing iron or steel by immersing it in a liquid zinc pool at 450 °C. This process, referred to as barrier protection, separates the zinc metal on the surface from atmospheric conditions. After the formation of zinc oxide, it interacts with (carbon dioxide) and protects the surface by creating zinc carbonate effect. However, the zinc oxide coated on the film surface is gradually depleted over time.
Hot Dip Galvanized Protection
The system that prevents moisture from reaching the steel is catholic protection. It works as a result of the zinc on the scratched or cut surfaces moving away from the steel. Even if there is a scratch, the zinc elements around the scratch prevent rust by fighting atmospheric conditions. This effect is exhausted over time as a result of zinc depletion. Atmospheric conditions, conditions of use and coating thickness are factors affecting the conditions of use. For example, corrosion effects are more common in areas close to the sea and hot-dip galvanized modular water tanks are damaged and rusted. Or, as a result of oxidation caused by acid chemical substances in industrial factories, rusting effects are seen on hot dip modular water tanks after a while.
Hot Dip Galvanizing Process in Modular Water Tanks
Modules coming to the dipping pool are suspended. In the degreasing pools, the modules are cleaned from oil and dust. The modules dipped in 16-20% Hydrochloric Acid pools are cleaned from dirt and rust and prepared for rinsing. Even if there is no rust on the panel, it must be immersed in the acid bath in order to be activated for galvanizing. After rinsing, the modules are subjected to the flux coating process, which is a pre-coating process. Here, in order to ensure better adhesion on the surface of the module, it must be immersed in a flux pool consisting of 30% NH4CI-ZN at an average temperature of 60 °C. The dried modules become suitable for galvanized coating. After all the preliminary preparations are completed, the modules are now hot-dip galvanized after being immersed in molten zinc pools with a high degree of special alloy to perfectly cover the full surface. The galvanized panels are suspended to cool or, if there is no time, water cooled if necessary. As a result, the modular water tank panels are coated with anti-corrosion, rust preventive armor, which can be measured in microns, in many atmospheric environments, and are ready for the installation of the hot dip galvanized water tank.
Hot Dip Galvanized Modular Water Tank Dimensions
The sheets obtained by dipping into the molten zinc pool come to the modular warehouse production facility as plates after cooling. Here, hot-dip galvanized modules are obtained by shaping them in accordance with our molds with the help of cold presses. Each full module measures 1.08 meters cubic. Half module is manufactured 0.54 meters. The thickness of the modules, which are assembled with the help of bolts, washers and nuts, are determined by static load calculation according to the size of the area to be placed in the required liters.
Hot Dipped Galvanized Modular Water Tank Prices
The factors in determining the prices of galvanized prismatic water tanks can be listed as follows. Sheet thicknesses; It is selected between 1 mm and 5 mm in appropriate liters and calculated according to the area size. These thicknesses are determined by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change for official institutions and organizations. In special works, the cost can be reduced by reducing the relevant thicknesses. However, static load calculation should not be ignored in order to reduce the cost. Because in such cases, deformations such as breakage, bending, ceiling collapse are seen in the warehouses. Module design; The more cubic a modular water tank is, the more economically priced it is. Tanks built with half modules are much more costly. Fasteners; bolts, washers and nuts are compulsory joining elements that must be used. Transportation; Hot dip galvanized modular water tanks are shipped in panels to the installation sites. Places such as towns and villages outside the city can increase costs considerably. Gasket; Since EPDM waterproofing gaskets cut in special size widths are used, it affects the prices of modular tanks. Labor; Due to the technical staff problems experienced in our country, costs are made in this direction in order to employ knowledgeable personnel. Sealing; The use of sealant, which acts as insurance after the installation of the modular tank, is also included in the modular water tank account. In order to have our hot-dip galvanized modular water tanks in the most economical and high quality way, you can get support from our Santaş sales team for long-lasting modular water tanks that are suitable for your intended use by specifying the liters suitable for your needs and the size of the installation area.
