Hanson Tank (Roy E. Hanson Jr. Mfg.) products

Virtually every industrial building in the USA has an air receiver installed somewhere in it. The usual function of an air system is to transmit energy generated at a single source to different areas of a facility. The air receiver stores and delivers air pressure when the compressor is not running, and also serves as a pulsation damper and moisture trap.

Any vessel that contains both water and air under pressure can be called a hydropneumatic tank. The two most common applications are in well water systems, or as buffer tanks to absorb water hammer shocks in large capacity pumping systems. In both cases, the captive compressed air acts as a cushion which can exert or absorb pressure as required.

Hanson air receiver tanks are built and tested in accordance with the A.S.M.E.boiler and pressure vessel code section VIII division I for unfired pressure vessels and bear the “U” or “UM” stamp, national board number and serial number, as required.

Tanks that include an internal bladder are usually smaller, and sometimes called captive air or bag tanks. There are styles that are designed to replace the expansion tank in a domestic hot water or chilled water system. Most bladder tanks are standard vertical design. On larger versions, the bladder is often replaceable through a flange, which can be either on the top or bottom of the tank depending on the application.

We manufacture stainless steel pressure vessels from 12″ to 144″ in diameter in 304 or 316 grade material. Design working pressures range from 50 psig to 500 psig. For fastest delivery, we have a large inventory of stock material and manufacture most of our own tank heads. Vessels can be all stainless steel, or have some carbon steel items such as manways and supports to keep the cost down. Tanks are available with mill finish or can be bead blasted or polished for a better appearance. Machined or fabricated parts such as a quick opening closure can be incorporated in the design as necessary. Although many of the stainless steel vessels we manufacture are air receivers or water tanks, most are for special industrial applications, especially if extreme operating temperatures are required.

Hanson Tank is a trusted manufacturer of stainless steel air tanks for heavy-duty trucks. Our dedication to quality means all of our air tanks are tested twice to ensure they are in good working condition. All of our tanks conform to SAE J10B specifications and come with NTP threaded ports.
