Abstract
An insulated tank jacketing system for storage tank structures of the type used for oil, water, etc., wherein insulated panel systems having upstanding and opposed side flanges are affixed to wire cables or the like on the outside wall of the tank structure by means of a continuous fastener interposed around each cable and positioned between the side flanges of adjacent panels and held in place by having the side flanges of adjacent panels rolled over each other with the fastener being locked within the closure roll thus allowing all component parts of the system, including the cable, to expand and contract relative to each other with no restriction.
