Characteristics and construction difficulties of aviation kerosene tank

The introductions of aviation kerosene tanks in China are mostly limited to the description of the execution process of a construction project or the application of a new technology in the tanks. Therefore, the development and technical features of aviation kerosene tanks in China and other countries are systematically summarized in this paper. The tanks are designed with tapered tank bottom, floating oil suction device, anticorrosion antistatic treatment and other means to transfer high quality aviation kerosene safely and efficiently in a faster manner within a relatively short period of settling. Taking the 10 000 m³ aviation kerosene tank in China as an example, the construction difficulties are described, including welding deformation control, tapered tank bottom construction, tank wall inversion method and floating oil suction device assembly. Finally, relevant solutions are given one by one.
