5083 Aluminum Wide Plate for Tankers
The aluminum wide plate for tankers is applicable for most of the commercial tank trucks, including oil tankers,cement tankers, natural gas tankers and sprinklers. These large tankers are undergoing a stage of transition from steel to aluminum.
At present, the proportion of aluminum tankers or all-aluminum tankers in the market keeps increasing. 5083 aluminum plate is the most important alloy for the tank trucks. It belongs to Al-Mg aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is between 290-345Mpa and the yield strength is between 145-283Mpa. It has good corrosion resistance and excellent weldability.
The 5083 aluminum wide plate is widely used in the tank truck because the tanker is generally longer with a length of 4-12.5 meter. The carrying capacity of the tank body is also relatively large. Taking the oil tanker as an example. There are more than 4 kinds of capacity specifications, including 2 tons, 8 tons, 10 tons, 30 tons, etc., and the volume of the oil tanker is also divided into different sizes.
For example, small tank trucks have a volume of 3000L-5000L, which are used for small-amount distribution and are used in factories and construction sites. The volume of ordinary fuel tank trucks is mostly about 18000-23000L, and they are used in general gas stations or large factories. The volume of semi trailer tanker is generally around 40,000L, which is generally used for oil product distribution in large gas stations.
At present, more than 90% of the aluminum plates used for oil tankers and other tankers are welded with 5083 aluminum plate. The common width of the 5083 aluminum wide plate is 2.2 meter. The thickness is 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm. A tanker is usually made of 4-6 aluminum wide plate.
Aluminum tankers are about 20% lighter than steel tankers of the same size, but their transportation capacity is increased by 30%. At the same time, due to the high strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, the aluminum oil tankers welded with 5083 aluminum wide plate are more wear-resistant and durable.
In recent years, the aluminum tanker trucks are becoming more popular in many countries, not just limited in the developed countries. The need of 5083 aluminum plates is rapidly expanding. If you are also in this field, welcome to leave message below to inquire aluminum plate for oil tankers.
