  1. 01 Manufacturing guideWhat a Chemical Tank Drawing Handoff NeedsThe drawing, interface, service and approval inputs needed before chemical tank fabrication starts.
  2. 02 Manufacturing guideHydrostatic testing: separating test capability from tank working pressure.A practical guide to separating tank-body hydrostatic test capability from customer-defined working pressure and design inputs.
  3. 03 Manufacturing guideNozzle Orientation Information That Prevents ReworkPractical nozzle, manway and interface information for a buildable chemical tank package.
  4. 04 Manufacturing guideHow to Specify Drainability, Low Points and Cleanout Access in a Fabricated TankHow to define drained state, bottom geometry, outlet position, internal pockets, cleanout access and verification before a chemical tank is fabricated.
  5. 05 Manufacturing guideWhat an Agitator Nozzle and Support Drawing Must Define Before FabricationA fabrication-focused guide to defining agitator nozzle geometry, datums, loads, support relationships, internal clearances, access, assembly states and inspection before tank manufacture.
  6. 06 Manufacturing guideDissimilar-Metal Attachments on Stainless Tanks: What Must Be Specified Before FabricationDefine exact materials, service exposure, contact and electrolyte paths, isolation intent, joint details, evidence, authority, and change controls before releasing a dissimilar-metal tank attachment.
  7. 07 Manufacturing guideWhen Should Tank Roundness, Verticality, and Levelness Be Measured?Decide when tank roundness, verticality, and named-feature geometric levelness should be measured by recording physical state, reference, method, purpose, and authority; geometric levelness is not liquid fill level.
  8. 08 Manufacturing guideInternal Coil Interface Release: Penetrations, Supports, Clearances, Drainability, and Test BoundariesRelease an internal-coil mechanical interface by joining current supplier data to tank datums, penetrations, supplied support actions, clearances, drainability inputs, test boundaries, evidence, and change control without inventing design values.
  9. 09 Manufacturing guideInternals Release Before Tank Closure: Baffles, Coils, Dip Tubes, and Hold-Point EvidenceDefine a tank-internals closure hold point by tying baffle, coil, dip-tube, and other Internal IDs to location, orientation, clearance, removability, connection/support state, evidence, open items, and changes.
  10. 10 Manufacturing guideBefore Cutting and Rolling a Tank Shell: What Shell-Course, Seam, and Attachment Decisions Must Be FrozenBuild a project-specific release baseline for tank shell courses before cutting or rolling by freezing plate identity, seams, openings, attachment zones, forming ownership, revisions, evidence, holds, and change triggers.
  11. 11 Manufacturing guideTank Support and Foundation Interfaces: What Fabrication Needs From the Site DesignDefine the loads, datums, base and anchorage geometry, installation states, evidence, and responsibilities site design must supply before tank-support fabrication.
