MS Storage Tank

An MS(Mild Steel) Storage Tank is a robust and durable container designed for the storage of liquids, chemicals, fuels, water, and industrial materials. Fabricated from high-quality mild steel, these tanks are widely used in manufacturing,processing, chemical, and construction industries due to their strength, affordability, and ease of fabrication.

Top 10 FAQs of MS Storage Tank

What materials are MS storage tanks made of?
Made from mild steel plates (IS 2062 or equivalent), often with protective coatings to resist corrosion.
What capacities are available?
MS tanks are available in capacities ranging from 500 liters to over 100,000 liters or customized as per needs.
Can MS tanks store chemicals?
Yes, with proper internal lining (like epoxy or rubber), they can store acids, alkalis, and industrial chemicals.
What shapes are available?
Available in cylindrical (horizontal/vertical), rectangular, and conical bottom configurations.
Are MS storage tanks corrosion-resistant?
Mild steel itself is not corrosion-resistant, but coatings and linings are used to prevent rust and chemical reactions.
Where can MS storage tanks be installed?
They can be installed above ground, underground, or on elevated platforms, depending on application.
What standards are followed in MS tank fabrication?
Typically fabricated as per IS codes, ASME, API, or client specifications for industrial use.
Do MS tanks require maintenance?
Yes, regular inspections, cleaning, and re-coating are required to maintain performance and safety.
How long do MS storage tanks last?
With proper maintenance, they can last 15–25 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Can the tank be customized?
Absolutely. Customization includes inlets/outlets, manholes, ladders, nozzles, gauges, level indicators, and more.
