Flameshield Tanks

Southern Tank’s STI Flameshield® Tank is the economical choice for 2-hour fire tested above ground liquid storage. The Flameshield® Tank’s design incorporates a tight-wrapped double wall steel construction that can survive a 2-hour 2000° fire test.  Flameshield® has built-in secondary containment and interstitial monitoring capability.

Reliable Fire Protection That Meets Rigorous Standards

Each one of Southern’s Flameshield® Tanks is built to nationally recognized UL and Steel Tank Institute standards and is subject to strict quality control inspections. Every Flameshield® primary (inner) and secondary (outer containment) tank is tested for leaks in our manufacturing facility and may be tightness tested on site using standard testing methods. Here are some of the codes and standards that the Southern Flameshield® tank complies with:

• Southwest Research Institute SwRI 97-04 requirements – 2-hour 2000° Fire Test validates performance of non-insulated tanks.
• National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.)
• UL 142 primary and secondary tanks
• STI Flameshield® Standard for Aboveground Tanks

A variety of UL listed saddle and skid supports are available for the horizontal cylindrical Flameshield® tank. Vertical tanks can have flat or sloped bottoms, leg or skirt supports. Rectangular tanks have support options as well. Special openings, manways, interior linings, compartmentalization, and other custom requirements can also be incorporated to fit your specific needs.
