ABSTRACT:
A sealing system for a liquid storage tank having a roof freely floating on the liquid contained within the storage tank wherein a plurality of shield sections are structurally interlocked to eliminate the need for a vapor-impermeable fabric annulus overlying the shield and interface between adjacent sections of the shield and effectively preventing vapor from escaping from the tank and contaminants from entering into the liquid. The structural interlocking of adjacent shield sections provides a uniform distribution of the forces and counter forces exerted between the floating roof and the inner wall of the tank shell due to wind loading.
