Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PEABODY ENGINEERING from 3G Electric.
What materials are Peabody Engineering tanks made from?
Peabody Engineering tanks are constructed from either high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Both materials are rotationally molded to produce seamless, corrosion-resistant tanks. HDPE offers higher rigidity and chemical resistance, while LLDPE provides greater impact strength and flexibility. The specific material used depends on the model and intended application.
What is the difference between single-wall and double-wall Peabody Engineering tanks?
Single-wall Peabody Engineering tanks consist of one layer of polyethylene and are used for general liquid storage where secondary containment is not required. Double-wall (dual containment) tanks have an inner primary tank and an outer secondary shell. The outer shell is designed to contain leaks from the inner tank, meeting secondary containment requirements for hazardous liquids. Both types are available in vertical configurations.
What capacities are available for Peabody Engineering vertical tanks?
Peabody Engineering vertical tanks are available in capacities ranging from 5 gallons to 300 gallons. Common capacities include 5, 10, 70, 100, 120, and 300 gallons. Wall thicknesses are typically 1/4 inch for smaller tanks and 3/8 inch for larger models. The specific capacity and dimensions vary by model and part number.
Are Peabody Engineering tanks suitable for outdoor use?
Peabody Engineering tanks are made from UV-stabilized polyethylene, which provides resistance to sunlight and weathering. The tanks are designed for above-ground installation and can be used outdoors. However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight may affect material properties over time. For specific environmental conditions, consult the tank datasheet.
Can Peabody Engineering tanks be used for chemical storage?
Yes, Peabody Engineering tanks are suitable for storing a variety of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, depending on the chemical compatibility with HDPE or LLDPE. The tanks are not rated for pressurized service and should be used at atmospheric pressure. Always verify chemical compatibility with the manufacturer's guidelines before use.
