væsketank

A væsketank, commonly translated as a liquid tank or fluid reservoir, is a container designed for the storage of liquids. These tanks are ubiquitous across various industries and applications, serving essential functions in transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, and domestic settings. Their design and construction vary significantly depending on the type of liquid they are intended to hold, the volume required, and the environmental conditions they will encounter.

Materials commonly used for væsketanker include steel, stainless steel, plastic (such as polyethylene or polypropylene), and fiberglass. The choice of material is critical, as it must be compatible with the stored liquid to prevent corrosion, contamination, or degradation. For instance, tanks storing corrosive chemicals will be constructed from resistant plastics or specialized alloys, while those for water or fuel might use standard steel.

Væsketanker can range in size from small, handheld containers to massive industrial storage units holding millions of liters. They are often equipped with safety features such as vents to regulate pressure, level indicators to monitor the volume of liquid, and overflow protection. In industrial contexts, they are integrated into larger systems, acting as buffer storage, process vessels, or collection points for liquids. In transportation, they are found on vehicles like trucks, ships, and aircraft for carrying fuel, water, or other fluids. The term "væsketank" encompasses this broad category of liquid containment solutions.
