Making nozzles in FRP tank

[AoA]

Dear All,

I want to utilize an old FRP tank in stock for a current project. The previous nozzles would be closed if not at suitable elevations. But the problem is to add new nozzles. As per my knowledge new nozzle can only be added by FRP tank manufacturer or may be cannot be added at all.

If it is possible to add, please explain how we can add new nozzles.


Thanks...

"If it is possible to add, please explain how we can add new nozzles."

Step 1. Find the file containing the paperwork (Drawings, Specifications, Purchase Order, etc.) for the Tank

Step 2. Read everything in the file (including the contact information for the company that built the Tank)

Step 3. Contact the company that built the Tank

Step 4. Ask them this question "I want to utilize an old FRP tank in stock for a current project. The previous nozzles would be closed if not at suitable elevations. But the problem is to add new nozzles. As per my knowledge new nozzle can only be added by FRP tank manufacturer or may be cannot be added at all. Is that true? If so, can you add a new nozzle for us"

prognosis: Lead or Lag

VERY dependent on nozzle diameter. 2-inch ans smaller are simple, IF they have experience in structural FRP. Large nozzles will require that area of the tank to be rewound with fiberglass to replace the strength lost by cutting all those fibers making the hole.

Use an experienced FRP tank manufacturer, that will give a written guarantee. Insist on a hydro after the resin has cured.

FRP has totally different problems than metal, and it is very easy to ruin a tank.
