1248 Tata Steel FRP Vessel – Description

The 1248 Tata Steel FRP Vessel is a high-performance fiber glass-reinforced plastic (FRP) pressure vessel designed for use in water treatment, filtration, and softening systems. It combines lightweight composite construction with high structural strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.

Key Specifications & Features

• Model / Size: 1248 — the designation refers to a 12-inch diameter × 48-inch height vessel.

• Material: Made of filament wound FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Polymer) with an internal FRP liner that provides superior strength and chemical resistance.

• Capacity: Approximately 75–80 litres storage volume, suitable for mid-sized filtration systems.

• Pressure Rating: Up to 10 bar (150 psi) working pressure — standard for residential and light commercial water treatment.

• Operating Temperature: Typically ~1 °C to 49 °C (34 °F–120 °F).

• Vacuum Resistance: Can handle vacuum conditions up to about 5″ Hg (127 mmHg).

• Opening: Standard 2.5″ threaded top opening for easy connection to filter heads or valves.

• Colour: Commonly finished in blue, a typical industry aesthetic.

• Country of Origin: India.

Design & Benefits

• Corrosion Resistance: The FRP composite construction resists rust and corrosion much better than metal alternatives, extending vessel life in harsh water and chemical environments.

• Lightweight & Durable: Easier to install and handle compared with steel tanks, while still providing excellent mechanical strength.

• Versatile Applications: Ideal for use in:

  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems (pre-treatment and filtration stages)

  • Water softener setups

  • Sand, carbon, and multimedia filters

  • General potable water and industrial water treatment use.

Typical Uses

The 1248 FRP vessel is widely used in:

• Home and commercial water filtration systems

• Light industrial water purification

• RO and UF pre-treatment vessels

• Pumped water systems that require pressure-rated storage and media housings

Its standard size and connections make it easy to integrate into many existing water treatment configurations.
