The roof rises and falls with the liquid level in the tank. [1] As opposed to a fixed roof tank there is no vapor space in the floating roof tank (except for very low liquid level situations). In principle, this eliminates tank breathing loss and greatly reduces the evaporative loss of the stored liquid. There is a rim seal system between the ...
They are essentially cone-roof tanks with an internal floating roof travelling vertically up and down along with the liquid level. This floating roof traps the vapour from low flash-point fuels. Floating roofs are supported with legs or cables on which they rest. FR tanks do not have a fixed roof, being open at the top, and have a floating roof ...
A fixed roof tank is a type of storage tank, used to store liquids, consisting of a cone- or dome-shaped roof that is permanently affixed to a cylindrical shell. Newer storage tanks are typically fully welded and designed to be both liquid- and vapor-tight. Older tanks, however, are often riveted or bolted, and are not vapor tight.

A Horton sphere (sometimes spelled Hortonsphere), also referred to as a spherical tank or simply sphere, is a spherical pressure vessel, which is used for industrial-scale storage of liquefied gases. Example of materials that can be stored in Horton spheres are liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and anhydrous ammonia .

Additionally, although the two ends of a container are extremely strong, the roof is not. In the case of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) container, the roof is built and tested only to withstand a 300 kg (660 lb) load, applied to an area of 61 cm by 30.5 cm (2 ft by 1 ft) in the weakest part of the roof. [4]
