ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to containers for the bulk storage or transport of liquefied gases, for example, in ocean going marine tankers comprising a tank surrounded and supported at least from below by thermal insulation built up from panels sealed together and supported by an outer rigid shell.
In such containers there is a problem of mounting the panels on said rigid shell so that they are rigidly fixed and aligned with each other. The invention is characterized by the provision of upstanding studs rigidly fixed to the rigid shell in spaced relationship determined by the shape and size of said panels, a fitting defining a seat mounted for axial movement on each stud, locking means for locking the fitting in an axially adjusted position, each edge of each panel defining an extended lip portion so that said panels can be supported in edge-to-edge relationship with said lip portions thereof located on the seats defined by said fittings, which fittings have been individually adjusted to provide a level supporting surface for the panels spaced from said outer shell first sealing means for sealing the outer faces of said panels, filling means for spaces between panel edges, and second sealing means for sealing the inner faces of said panels.
