ABSTRACT:
The tank is a modified form of the lobed tank described in British Pat. No. 1522609, whereby the tank ends are of simpler constructional form. Thus, the tank comprises, top, bottom and two opposed side walls (1 to 4) each consisting of parallel, part-cylindrical lobes (11) which are connected and tied together by tie-plates (13, 14) and elongated armed insert elements (16, 17 and 17a). The invention is characterized in that each one of said other two opposed side walls (5, 6) comprises at least two part-lobes (11c) which present straight edges to which the common straight end edges of a series of two-way corner transition (12c) and part-transition (12d) pieces are joined, and in that the end of each part-lobe (11c) has a respective part-transition piece (12d) joined thereto to present a curved edge to which a part-spherical three-way corner (12b) can be joined to close-off the side wall (5 or 6). Preferably, the transition and part-transition pieces are joined together via elongate curved insert elements (12e) in which there is a smooth transition from being of generally "Y" cross-section at one end to "T" cross-section at the other end.
