RTP, which stands for Rolled, Tapered Panel, is a key design in modern bolted steel storage tank construction. These tanks use rolled steel panels, about 108 inches long by 60 inches wide, with tapered edges for precise fitting. The panels are bolted together to form a vertical cylinder, with each set of connected panels called a “ring.” RTP tanks use lap joint panel connections with exact tolerances for a leak-free seal when combined with sealant. This design allows for tanks of various diameters and capacities, suitable for storing a range of liquids and dry materials.
