Abstract
A baffle or dividing wall 13, 14 disposed in a tank is connected to the inner wall of the tank jacket 10 via a ring 15, 21 of triangular profile. The outer diameter of the intermediate wall is significantly smaller than the inner diameter of the tank so that the wall may be readily inserted into the tank. One leg 16 of the proHie ring 15 forms an extension of the curvature of the intermediate wall 13, whereas the other leg 17 closes the gusset-type region between the convex side of the intermediate wall 13 and the tank jacket 10.
