Chemicals can be severely corrosive to above-ground metal storage tanks, resulting in possible leaks. The average corrosion rate of some carbon-steel storage tanks in certain services at ambient temperatures is more than 1 mil per year, with leaks developing in as few as five years. These leaks result in costs for  repair and possible environmental penalties.corrosion sometimes increases when a layer of water containing soluble salts and chlorides settles to the bottom.These compounds are highly corrosive in themselves, and they can generate a strong electrolyte that further promotes corrosion from within. There can be a problem with external tank corrosion as well. The bottoms of above-ground storage tanks are susceptible to corrosion, especially if the tanks are close to salt water or subject to stray electrical currents in the soil

Fiber glass pipe is a type of composite pipe made from glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. It is also known as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or glass-fiber reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe. In this blog post, we will explain what composite materials are and raw material related to fiber glass pipes.
