Abstract
A metallic tank having an insulated interior is disclosed which exhibits unique features to enable the welding of the tank sections together without damage to the insulation. The insulating lining is installed in the multi-piece metallic tank prior to the welding of the tank sections together. A heat shield is provided between the weld area and the insulating liner to prevent damage to the liner during the welding process. The method of assembly allows the economical and rapid fabrication of lined metallic tanks without fear of damaging the lining material.
