Abstract
Disclosed herein are exemplary embodiments of linings or liners (e.g., liners with corner reinforcement, etc.), methods of providing a liner or lining for a tank, and methods and apparatus for providing additional protection and/or reinforcement at the corners of a liner or lining. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes positioning and attaching one or more corner attachments at one or more corners of a liner that are formed between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner. The one or more corner attachments may be configured to provide additional protection and/or reinforcement at the one or more corners of the liner.
Claims24
A method of providing additional protection and/or reinforcement at one or more corners of a liner including a bottom and one or more sides defining an internal volume usable for storage of materials, the method comprising positioning and attaching one or more corner attachments at the one or more corners of the liner that are formed between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner, whereby the one or more corner attachments are configured to provide additional protection and/or reinforcement at the one or more corners of the liner.
A liner comprising a bottom and one or more sides defining an internal volume usable for storage of materials, the liner further comprising one or more corner attachments positioned and attached at one or more corners of the liner that are formed between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner, whereby the one or more corner attachments are configured to provide additional protection and/or reinforcement at the one or more corners of the liner.
A liner comprising a bottom and one or more sides welded to the bottom by a pre-existing weld material to thereby define an internal volume usable for storage of materials, the liner further comprising an extrusion weld material extrusion welded over the pre-existing weld material to thereby reinforce and/or strengthen a weld joint between the bottom and the one or more sides.
A method of reinforcing and/or strengthening a weld joint between a bottom and one or more sides of a liner defining an internal volume usable for storage of materials, the method comprising extrusion welding an extrusion weld material over a pre-existing weld material forming the weld joint between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner.
An apparatus for providing additional protection and/or reinforcement at one or more corners of a liner including a bottom and one or more sides defining an internal volume usable for storage of materials, the apparatus comprising one or more corner attachments configured to be positioned and attached at the one or more corners of the liner that are formed between the bottom and the one or more sides of the liner, whereby the one or more corner attachments are configured to provide additional protection and/or reinforcement at the one or more corners of the liner.
