They also have a function of fire resistance and are really safety devices for protecting the storage tank.
The stainless steel manways are particularly suitable for vaulted atmospheric pressure tanks in which the material is stored with nitrogen. It has the advantages of constant pressure discharge, constant pressure suction, flexible opening and closing, safe fire resistance, compact structure, good sealing performance, safety, and reliability, etc.
Stainless steel manways have been molded usually in diameter 600mm. The center of the manways is generally 750 mm from the floor. It is convenient for workers to enter and exit the tank and ventilate during installation, cleaning, and maintenance.
