Can anybody name a vendor that can Teflon coat the interior of a custom designed tank?

RE: Teflon Coating

What size are you talking about?

Need the physical size and nozzle sizes. You might want to throw in the MOC.

RE: Teflon Coating

Figure on a 14" sch pipe about four foot long, most likely carbon steel, possibly 316 SS. 3" NPT nozzle at one end, .50" NPT nozzle at the other.

RE: Teflon Coating

You can't line that 0.5" nozzle for love or money.

Minimum nozzle size for lining is about 1.5", and you'll probably do better if you go with 2"

As to who can line it or even IF it can be lined successfully at all:  that depends on its shape, whether it has body flanges or not, whether the correct details have been used in fabrication (radiusing at all nozzle neck to shell transitions etc.), and what type of lining you want (spray- or powder-applied PFA, rotomoulded ETFE etc.)

Consider using a 14" teflon lined pipe spool and a flanged reducer at each end.  Look at Crane Resistoflex.
