The fabrication of tanks — from fuel and water storage to pressure vessels and process containers — demands exceptional weld quality, material compatibility, and safety compliance. Messer Canada equips tank manufacturers and repair shops with premium gases, consumables, and protective equipment to ensure consistent results across thick-wall welds, high-integrity seams, and post-weld treatments. Whether manufacturing in-shop or on-site, Messer helps Canadian tank fabricators meet code requirements and production goals with confidence.
Tank construction often involves welding thick sections of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum — all of which require tailored gas support. Messer’s Ferroline, Inoxline, and Aluline shielding gases are optimized for multi-pass MIG and TIG welding, delivering stable arcs and strong, defect-free welds. For tanks requiring purging or back shielding, our high-purity argon and nitrogen gases help prevent oxidation and contamination, especially critical in food-grade or high-pressure applications.
Durability and control are essential in tank welding, especially when working in challenging positions or confined spaces. Messer’s SolidARC filler metals and SolidSTRIKE electrodes deliver the performance required for heavy-wall welding, while SolidWELD equipment offers reliability and power for shop or field operations. Safety is paramount in tank work, which is why we recommend ClearVIEW helmets with advanced ADF technology and Gantec Polysafe gear for full-body protection. To support air quality during long weld cycles, AirSTORM fume extractors help maintain a cleaner, safer workspace.
