Questions people ask about Quench Tanks

What is a Quench tank used for?

A Quench tank provides a dedicated area for cooling hot metal components after welding, fabrication or heat treatment processes. The appropriate tank configuration depends on the material, component size, quenching medium and workshop procedure.

What materials are Flexshield Quench tanks available in?

Flexshield Quench tanks are available in stainless steel or galvanised steel configurations. Material selection should take the intended application, quenching medium and site conditions into account.

What standard Quench tank sizes are available?

The current range lists 660mm x 600mm x 800mm and 910mm x 500mm x 800mm standard sizes, with a standard 500mm working depth. Custom dimensions are also available.

Can a Quench tank be customised?

Yes. Dimensions, height, plumbing fixtures, taps, base filters and grating can be considered as part of the project specification.

Do Quench tanks include drainage?

The current Flexshield configuration includes an integrated drain bung. The final drainage arrangement and connection requirements should be confirmed for the site.

What should be considered before specifying a Quench tank?

Consider the component size, quenching medium, material compatibility, tank capacity, workshop layout, drainage, water supply where required, cleaning access and surrounding hot-work activities.

Where should a Quench tank be positioned in a workshop?

Positioning should reflect the workflow between hot work and cooling while allowing suitable access, clearance and material handling. Site-specific risk controls and workshop procedures should guide the final location.
