Primary — C
Spring/compression-plate primary seal.
EZseal configuration
EZseal CW
Compression plate primary + Windscreen secondary
A two-stage rim-seal configuration combining the EZseal C primary mechanism with the EZseal W secondary system. Final geometry and materials are established from the actual tank and roof operating envelope.
Design intent
The code identifies the mechanism. The tank still decides the design.
A formed metallic compression system applies controlled pressure toward the shell. The concept is compact and comparatively light, with geometry, plate stiffness, vapour barrier and materials selected around the tank and stored product.
A secondary configuration intended to combine rim-space sealing with protection against wind and weather exposure. Wiper, plate, fabric and drainage details remain project-specific and are selected around roof type, shell condition and environmental exposure.
Engineering priorities
What the design has to get right.
Secondary — W
Secondary wind and weather barrier.
Working envelope
Minimum, nominal and maximum rim space are checked against shell condition and roof movement.
Project materials
Metal, fabric and polymer selections are matched to product service, temperature and the project specification.

Scope
Where this combination starts
- Applications where low mass, compact geometry and a direct spring-plate sealing mechanism are advantageous.
- External or covered floating roofs where weather shedding and wind exposure form part of the secondary-seal duty.
- Rim-space survey and shell-condition review before final geometry is released
- Vapour barrier, shunts / bonding and installation details selected per project
- Wax-scraper or special shell-contact details added only where the service requires them
Inputs
Selection checks
- Floating-roof type and rim construction
- Measured rim-space distribution and expected movement
- Shell welds, protrusions, corrosion and out-of-roundness
- Stored product and material compatibility
- Available height and potential roof / seal interference
- Weather exposure, fire protection and inspection requirements
Standards & project basis
Designed from the application, then checked against the code.
EZseal configuration codes describe mechanical families, not pre-approved universal designs. Final selection and dimensions are project-specific and checked against the applicable tank, emissions and fire-safety basis.
Application review
Start with the tank, the service and the result you need.
Emission Zero can review the application before turning it into a product configuration or project specification.
