Flameshield Tanks
Southern Tank’s STI Flameshield® Tank is the economical choice for 2-hour fire tested above ground liquid storage. The Flameshield® Tank’s design incorporates a tight-wrapped double-wall steel construction that can survive a 2-hour 2000° fire test. Flameshield® has built-in secondary containment and interstitial monitoring capability.
Each one of Southern’s Flameshield® Tanks is built to nationally recognized UL and Steel Tank Institute standards and is subject to strict quality control inspections. Every Flameshield® primary (inner) and secondary (outer containment) tank is tested for leaks in our manufacturing facility and may be tightness tested on site using standard testing methods. Here are some of the codes and standards that the Southern Flameshield® tank complies with:
- Southwest Research Institute SwRI 97-04 requirements – 2-hour 2000° Fire Test validates performance of non-insulated tanks.
