Abstract

A Floating roof for covering liquid products stored in storage tanks or the like wherein the roof has an upper surface and a lower surface, with the lower surface in substantially continuous contact with the stored product. Buoyancy means are connected to the floating roof and are substantially uniformly distributed with respect thereto to float the roof on the stored product in the event the stored product leaks onto the surface of the floating roof, and to prevent sinking thereof beyond a predetermined amount and to minimize uneven settling of the roof in the stored product.
