CENTRIFUGAL CASTING – THE PROCESS
Originally pioneered by Raven more than five decades ago as a method to construct high perfor
mance gondolas for atmospheric test balloons, the centrifugally cast process developed into and
remains one of the most versatile and economical methods of producing high-quality fiberglass
tanks. It provides all of the mechanical strength necessary for liquid storage plus the superior
chemical resistance capability of a high resin-to-glass ratio wall construction.
By utilizing centrifugal force to combine resin and glass, the process provides tanks with a
dense uniform wall laminate capable of a 70% resin content. For all practical purposes, the entire
wall becomes a resin-rich, chemical-resistant barrier that can be custom designed for specific
requirements ranging from the storage of corrosive chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and sodi
um hydroxide to food grade applications.
The spin cast tank is produced inside a smooth metal cylinder. First the end section, which
End section is inserted into is sprayed up in a separate mold, is inserted into the cylinder at a point determined by tank capaci
position determined by desired ty. This flexibility allows us to manufacture a variety of sizes without changing tooling. For
capacity. example a 32” diameter tank can be made to hold any capacity between 100 and 300 gallons by
adjusting the distance that the head is placed into the mold.
After the end section has been located, sidewall construction begins by applying a 10 to 15 mil
layer of resin coat or gel coat to the spinning mold. This provides the tank with its desired color and
the distinctive exterior finish.
The backbone of the tank, the structural wall and corrosion barrier, is constructed next by combin
ing chemical resistant resin with chopped strand “E” glass for strength. Chopped glass has been
selected to minimize potential wicking problems sometimes associated with
other reinforcements.
The resin saturated chopped strand reinforcement is sprayed into the mold in layers and
then rolled to remove trapped air bubbles to insure a dense uniform laminate. This
process is then repeated with each additional resin/glass layer to meet the design wall

gel coat into the mold
A A10-15 mil layer of pure or pigmented resin is applied to the mold surface.

B Chopped "E" glass is added to meet design thickness.

C 7-10 mils of pure resin is applied to the inside surface.
CENTRIFUGAL CASTING – THE PROCESS
SPECIFICATIONS:
Centrifugally cast tanks manufactured by Design Tanks are designed to meet or exceed the strength
requirements of ASTM D4097-01.
Standard catalog tanks are built to hold liquid with a specific gravity of 1.3 at a safety factor of not less
than 10:1. Tanks designed to hold heavier materials are available upon request. Contact the factory
for specific requirements.
Centrifugally cast tanks can be manufactured for food grade applications depending upon resin
selection.
In tanks 24” through 48” diameter, the entire wall is constructed from a single resin system through
out. Larger diameter tanks (60” through 90” diameter) feature the additional flexibility of manufactur
ing with a dual resin system to achieve a high quality tank at an economical price.
Upon completion of the wall, the inside surface is coated with 7 to 10 mils of pure resin to give the
interior of the tank a smooth corrosion-resistant barrier. In highly corrosive applications, such as the Resin andchopped glass is
storage of caustic materials, a layer of synthetic veil is added before the final resin coat to provide sprayed into the revolving
further resistance to chemical attack. mold
After curing in the mold, the tank is removed by air pressure, checked for quality and sent to the final
assembly area for the installation of accessories. Centrifugally cast tanks are available in several
sizes and styles. Each can be constructed from a number of
resin systems to meet specific chemical and temperature
requirements. Refer to resin selection guide to determine
material compatibility.

HORIZONTAL FIBERGLASS TANKS
CENTRIFUGALLY CAST HORIZONTAL FIBERGLASS TANKS

Horizontal fiberglass tanks can be designed for either stationary storage or non/D.O.T.
regulated mobile applications. Tanks must be properly supported during use.
• Baffles are recommended for mobile applications whenever the tank length to
diameter ratio exceeds 1.5.
NOTES: 1) Tanks are designed for atmospheric pressure only and must be vented!
Follow vent specifications.
2) Centrifugal cast tanks provide the superior chemical resistance
capability of a high resin-to-glass ratio wall construction, and the most
aesthetically pleasing exterior appearance in the industry.

Brinemakers allow Companies to leverage the Southern Rock (44% void volume) Vacuum Granulated (40% void volume)
benefits of saturated brine. In addition to - Maximum brine making rate - Maximum brine making rate
obvious bulk salt advantage, consistency of -10’-0” diameter tank-20GPM -10’-0” diameter tank-40 GPM
product, and meeting “peak-demand” -12’-0” diameter tank-25 GPM -12’-0” diameter tank-50 GPM
requirements, companies quickly recognize - Weight per foot of tank height - Weight per foot of tank height
increased warehouse space and decreased work -10’-0” diameter tank-2.7 ton -10’-0” diameter tank-3.0 ton

individual salt bags.
Facts/Sizes
At 77 °F degrees Fahrenheit one gallon of saturated brine
weighs 9.98 pounds and contains 2.642 pounds of salt.
At 77°F one gallon of water will produce 1.138 gallons of

saturated brine and dissolve 3.006 pounds of salt.
Brinemakers are typically made in diameters ranging from 8'

to 12', but can be designed to fit any size required.
Other options like" heating panels, partial and full

insulation,..." are available.

STEEL PIPE LEGS

30° cone bottom tanks are supported by steel pipe legs threaded into a fiberglass
encapsulated steel leg ring. Legs must be ordered separately.
LEG ORDERING INFORMATION Steel pipe legs

To order legs, specify number required and overall length. Overall length is determined
by adding amount of leg for 0” clearance (shown above) to desired clearance between
the bottom of the cone and the floor.
(NOTE: Design Tanks recommends that clearance not exceed 24” unless specific
application has been reviewed by the factory.) Welded steel
coupling
EXAMPLE: Legs for an 8’ diameter 6000 gallon tank (part #C38-6MC) with a
24” clearance from bottom of cone to the floor would be ordered as follows:
Number of legs required = 4 4" steel pipe,
threaded both ends
Leg length = 0” clearance
+ required clearance
34”+24” Threaded steel flange
Correct order would be (4) 58” tall legs. pad 150# ASA bolting

Fiberglass female pipe threaded couplings are bonded permanently into the tank
to eliminate potential leak problems. Full and half couplings are available in
sizes from 1/2” to 6” and can be located anywhere on the tank except the saddle A A
assembly contact area on horizontal fiberglass tanks.
• Manufactured from corrosion-resistant vinyl ester resin.
• Outside bonding area at the coupling is equal to or greater than tank wall
thickness.
• Inside surface is sealed with 2 layers of 2 oz. glass mat and the same resin as
the tank wall on all tanks 60” diameter and larger. On smaller diameters
inside sealing may not be possible unless tank is equipped with a manway.
• All side wall penetrations protrude as shown unless otherwise specified.
• Bottom fittings are flush mounted for complete drainage.
• Full couplings provide for internal piping. Please specify either full or half
when ordering.
• 1 1/2” minimum edge to edge of couplings.
• 2” minimum edge to bottom of tank.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FIBERGLASS TANKS
Use a standard hole saw that fits any 1/4" electric drill motor to cut the proper size hole in the fiberglass tank.
. A
2 1/8" hole is required for 1/2", 3/4" and 1" threaded fittings. A 3 1/4" hole saw is required for 1 1/4", 1 1/2", and
2" bulkhead fittings.
STEP 1 Place your finger through the fitting and install the body in the hole by placing one lug through the hole
first. A slight tap with a hammer will slip the second lug through the hole.
STEP 2 Flex the back-up washer through the hole and over the fitting body.
STEP 3 Slip the grommet over the fitting body but do not slide it all the way down the body at this point.
STEP 4 While holding the fitting body with your finger, work the grommet down the fitting body until it is in the
hole in the tank wall. (The grommet will protrude slightly on both the inside and outside of the tank.)
STEP 5 Place the washer on the fitting, then install the nut . Tighten until snug.
(Note that nut is left hand thread!)
Sealing is accomplished by the grommet expanding against the circumference of the hole you cut in the tank.

LADDERS & CAGES–FRP
LADDERS & CAGES

Ladders and cages meeting OSHA standards
are available on any style fiberglass tank in
carbon steel, fiberglass, or aluminum. Stan
dard ladders include 3’6” walk thru.
Ladders are secured to tank wall by bolting
to an “L” shaped mounting lug bonded per
manently to the tank. See drawing for
detail.
To order follow the guidelines listed below: 6’ maximum
distance
• Total ladder length = tank height + 3’6”. between
supports
• Total cage length = ladder length - 7’.
• Maximum center to center distance
on mounting lugs is 6’.
• See example on right for assistance.
EXAMPLE Ladder
Standoff
Calculate ladder length, cage length, and required number of supports for a tank
that is 20’ tall.
Ladder length = Tank height + 3’6”
20’ + 3’6” = 23’6”
Cage length = Ladder length - 7’0”
23’6” - 7’0” = 16’6”
Lugs Required = Tank height/6’ (rounded up to next whole no.)
20’/6’ = 3.33 (round to 4) ladder requires 4 pair of lugs.
