What is AWWA D103-09?

The AWWA D103-09 standard, developed by the American Water Works Association (AWWA), is a widely recognized benchmark for the design and construction of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for water storage. This standard outlines the requirements for the materials, design, and construction of tanks that will store potable water, wastewater, and other liquids. Adherence to AWWA D103-09 ensures that the tanks meet the stringent performance, safety, and durability criteria necessary for long-term, reliable service.

At Center Enamel, we take pride in manufacturing our Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks in strict compliance with AWWA D103-09. Our tanks are engineered to meet the following essential characteristics:

High-Quality Materials: The use of high-grade steel and glass enamel coatings ensures that our tanks are both durable and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for long-term use in water and liquid storage applications.

Robust Design and Construction: Our tanks are built to withstand extreme environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations, seismic activity, and heavy loads. They are designed to provide maximum strength and structural integrity throughout their service life.

Corrosion Resistance: One of the most important features of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks is their corrosion resistance. The glass enamel coating effectively prevents corrosion caused by exposure to water, chemicals, and environmental factors, ensuring the longevity of the tank and the safe storage of the liquid.

Safety and Reliability: Tanks built to AWWA D103-09 standards are designed to be both safe and reliable. The standard outlines rigorous testing and inspection procedures to ensure that each tank performs optimally in both operational and emergency scenarios.

Additional Standards and Certifications

In addition to meeting the AWWA D103-09 standard, our Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks are built to comply with other international industry standards, ensuring the highest quality and safety. Some of the additional standards we adhere to include:

ISO 9001: Certification that ensures our products are manufactured under a strict quality management system.

NSF/ANSI 61: Ensures that the materials used in the tank are safe for contact with potable water, ensuring the highest level of health and safety for water storage.

ISO 28765: Certification that demonstrates our adherence to the standards for food-grade quality in tank construction, essential for water storage tanks that might be used for drinking water.

BSCI: Demonstrates that we adhere to social responsibility standards in our production processes.

ISO 45001: Certification for occupational health and safety management, ensuring that our workplace and products are developed in compliance with best practices for health and safety.

By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks are not only durable and high-performance but also safe for the environment, the workers involved in their production, and the communities that rely on them.
