Liquid oxygen storage tanks: Materials, Applications and advantages

Liquid oxygen storage tanks are key equipment for storing liquid oxygen in industry and require extremely high sealing performance to prevent leakage risks. Its core materials include:

Inner tank ‌ : Made of austenitic stainless steel (such as 304/316L), it features excellent low-temperature toughness and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable operation at -196°C.

Outer tank ‌ : Made of Q245R carbon steel, it provides high-strength support, complies with pressure vessel standards, and can resist external impacts.

Insulation layer ‌ : Double-wall vacuum powder design (such as perlite) significantly reduces heat conduction and maintains the low-temperature state of liquid oxygen.

Application field ‌ :
It is widely applied in gas production plants (for stable oxygen supply), the steel industry (for steelmaking processes), and the welding field (for cutting and welding gas sources), supporting efficient industrial processes.

Core advantage ‌ :
Sealing performance ‌ : Strict sealing design prevents leakage and ensures safety.
Cost-effectiveness ‌ : High storage efficiency, low unit cost, and easy maintenance.
Compact structure ‌ : It occupies a small area and is convenient for transportation and movement.
Thermal insulation performance ‌ : The vacuum powder layer effectively retains heat and reduces evaporation loss.

Liquid oxygen storage tanks, with their reliability and economy, have become the ideal choice for industrial oxygen storage.
