What is Universal Tank and Fabrication?
Universal Tank and Fabrication is a specialized company that designs, engineers, and fabricates custom metal tanks, pressure vessels, and related components for a wide range of industrial applications. We are committed to delivering high-quality, durable products that meet your exact specifications.
What industries do you serve?
We provide our services to a variety of heavy-duty industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, agriculture, food and beverage, and manufacturing. Our products are designed to meet the rigorous demands of these applications.
Are you certified to fabricate pressure vessels and tanks?
Yes. We are fully certified to design and fabricate pressure vessels and tanks in accordance with the industry's most stringent codes, including the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. This ensures our products meet the highest standards for safety and quality.
Do you take on custom design and fabrication projects?
Absolutely. Our expertise lies in creating custom solutions. We work closely with our clients from the initial design phase to final fabrication to ensure the finished product perfectly fits their unique operational needs and technical requirements.
Tank & Vessel Fabrication
What types of tanks and vessels do you fabricate?
We have the capability to fabricate a wide range of tanks, including storage tanks, process tanks, and pressure vessels. We work with various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and other specialized alloys, to match the requirements of your application.
Can you explain the difference between tank fabrication and welding tank shells?
Tank fabrication is the comprehensive, end-to-end process of manufacturing a complete tank, which includes engineering design, material preparation, welding, and final inspection. Welded tank shells are a specific component of this process. We can either fabricate a complete tank for you or simply weld the shells as a sub-component for another manufacturer.
Specialized Services
What is the purpose of sandblasting a pressure vessel?
Sandblasting is a crucial surface preparation process. We use it to thoroughly clean a vessel's exterior, removing rust, mill scale, and old coatings. This creates an ideal surface for the application of protective coatings and paints, ensuring a stronger bond and long-term corrosion resistance.
What is a sight glass assembly?
A sight glass assembly is a specialized component that we can install on tanks and vessels. Its purpose is to allow personnel a safe and easy way to visually inspect the contents of the vessel, monitor fluid levels, or observe an ongoing process without having to open the tank.
Can you install a sight glass assembly on an existing tank?
Yes. In addition to installing sight glass assemblies on new vessels, we can also integrate and install a custom assembly on your existing tanks as part of a modification or upgrade project.
Our Process & Quality
What is your process for a typical project?
Our process begins with a consultation to understand your needs. We then move to the design and engineering phase, followed by material procurement. Fabrication and welding are then performed in our facility with continuous quality checks. Finally, the product is prepared for delivery.
How do you ensure the quality of your products?
Quality is our top priority. We adhere to strict industry standards and codes, and our quality control process includes continuous checks throughout every stage of fabrication, including visual inspections, hydrostatic testing, and full documentation to ensure complete compliance.
