On tanks and armoured vehicles, grousers are usually pads attached to the tracks; but on construction vehicles they may take the form of flat plates or bars. [ 1 ] Similar traction-improving patterns have been implemented on the surface of the wheels on tractors.
The more common classical type is a solid chain track made of steel plates (with or without rubber pads), also called caterpillar tread or tank tread, [1] which is preferred for robust and heavy construction vehicles and military vehicles.
FRP tanks and vessels designed as per BS 4994 are widely used in the chemical industry in the following sectors: chlor-alkali manufacturers, fertilizer, wood pulp and paper, metal extraction, refining, electroplating, brine, vinegar, food processing, and in air pollution control equipment, especially at municipal waste water treatment plants and water treatment plants.
Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both.
In a riveted steel ship, the strakes were usually lapped and joggled (one strake given projections to match indentions in the one adjoining), [3] but where a smoother finish was sought they might be riveted on a butt strap, though this was weaker. In modern welded construction, the plates are normally butt-welded with full penetration welds all ...
