ABSTRACT

The 20000 liters storage tank was constructed for effective storage and
conservation of third with three (3) mild steel sheet of 14 gauge (2mm)
thickness.

The construction started by marketing out 1� (One and half) mild steel of
2440 Mm by 113Mmusing metal meter rule and critter the already market out
dimension underwent cutting with a backsaw and after marking out and
cutting operation of the cylindrical part it under went fording, using
hammer and folding machine, and finally joined together using Arc welding
machine.

Therefore, the cylindrical part of the storage tank was formed. To form the
bottom , half of the remaining sheet, that was used initially for the
cylindrical part was used, having a dimension of 1220 MM by 1130MM The top
of the tank has a doomed sphere, roof of 1220MM for the entering of water
and it was coured with the constructed culver of 40000 MM by 10000 MM using
one mild steel sheet the storage tank socket and tap was designed and
constructed using drilling machine to make a small opening at the bottom of
the tank with a diameter of 2.5MM and the inner threaded socket pipe of
diameter 30Mmby 60 MM was screwed and welded to the opening. The complete
are welding of the parts was done with 12 gauge 2.5 MM electrode with exit
piping of all the necessary joints. The storage tank was designed for
affective storage and transfer of water through the tap control. It was
discovered that the flow rate of the water through the tap control was free
of any obstruction therefore, the tap can allow easy water flow out from
the tank and can be used ford for storage of any water such as kerosene
diesel, petrol etc. The construction was achieved this water was filled
into function effectively.
