Improved Polyurethane Storage Tank Performance

Abstract

The Improved Polyurethane Storage Tank Performance program was sponsored by Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy) to study polyurethane coated membrane fabrication processes that are or may be used in the production of collapsible fuel tanks (CFT). The objective of this effort was to provide technical information that will assist in the improvement of polyurethane storage tank performance through the development of improved tank construction, fabrication techniques and quality control procedures. This research program expands on the FY2008 published effort by integrating in CFT fabrication and quality control recommendations and evaluating tank leaks through laboratory and actual field study.
