Mesa ETP ARMOR-CLAD - Flexible Roof Drain System
Mesa ETP ARMOR-CLAD Roof Drain systems are specialized for ensuring efficient water drainage from floating roofs of aboveground storage tanks. These systems are custom-engineered to match specific tank dimensions and local rainfall data, featuring compatibility with a wide range of pH solutions and chemicals. They boast a durable design with a historical lifespan of over 20 years if installed and operated correctly. The system's design eliminates horizontal movement and potential damage by utilizing a repeating lay pattern coil that rises and lowers predictively with the roof level. Constructed in a single continuous length, ARMOR-CLAD® avoids flow restrictions caused by joints or corrugations, facilitating high flow rates. The negative buoyancy of the flexible pipe is a key feature for different storage mediums, and its stainless steel armor ensures protective integrity. These attributes make it ideal for applications such as skimmer and foam delivery systems. The installation involves comprehensive tank analysis and accurate engineering documentation, ensuring optimal performance.
Single Coil
ARMOR-CLAD® Floating Roof Drains are installed to form a single coil repeating lay pattern (360° coil) allowing the drain to raise and lower in a predictable space as the roof level changes. ARMOR-CLAD® rises up directly off the floor and lowers with no horizontal movement, dragging or damage to tank floor.
Full-Flow Fittings
Compression sealed, full-flow end fittings provide non-leaking couplings at each end of the assembly. ANSI 150 lb. forged carbon steel raised face, weld-on flanges are standard. Stainless steel fittings are optional.
Smooth Internal Fluidway
ARMOR-CLAD features a smooth internal fluidway offering the fastest flow rates and most efficient drainage from the floating roof. ARMOR-CLAD® floating roof drain do not include internal corrugation, which could trap sediment or cause flow restricting turbulence. The ARMOR-CLAD® smooth bore, with no short radius elbows, yields higher flow rates for any given bore size.
Negative Buoyancy
ARMOR-CLAD® Flexible Pipe has a negative buoyancy in all storage products, including light products and heavy crude oil.
