Things to note when transporting stainless steel wine tanks

When calculating the liquid volume in stainless steel wine tanks, it is essential to account for 10% additional space to accommodate thermal expansion. This prevents cracking or deformation of the barrel, especially if it is dropped. For solid products, a trial filling is required to determine the volume needed, which is then converted to the corresponding weight. However, sufficient space must be left for the inner plastic wrapping.

For products with low boiling points (below 60°C), vapor pressure must be carefully considered, as it increases with temperature. The maximum storage and transportation temperature, typically around 55°C, should be factored in, though some regions may require consideration of a 60°C temperature difference. For temperatures above 60°C, lower storage and transportation temperatures should be considered to avoid negative pressure in the barrel.

Key considerations for transporting stainless steel wine tanks include:

- Screwing in the plug after the product has cooled to a specific temperature.

- Leaving ample space for expansion.

- Understanding the internal coating of the tank.

- Using cold-rolled steel for construction.

- Selecting appropriate coil linings for closed-end barrels based on the transported product.
