Abstract
For protecting tank armatures 22 against mechanical and chemical influences from the environment, an armature box 25 is provided which is screwed to the container frame 13, 17 and sealed with respect to the tank jacket 10 by means of a permanent-elastic sealing material. The armature box 25 is inserted only after the tank armatures 22 have been mounted and thus does not impede their installation. On account of its rigid connection with the container frame 13, 17, the armature box 25 has a high stiffness.
