Surge tank is a standpipe or storage reservoir at the downstream end of a closed feeder pipe water it absorb sudden rises of pressure and to furnish water quickly during a drop in pressure. It is also known as surge drum

An open tank which located at the top of a surge pipe is connected as to avoid loss of water during a pressure surge. It is very helpful in mining engineering e.g. pumping of ore pulps, a relatively small tank which maintains a steady loading of the pump.

The surge tank is attached at the highest point of the system. When pressure rises, forcing fluids upward, they shift into the tank rather than blowing out the system.

These devices can be used with a number of different types of systems ranging from the fuel lines in vehicles to the systems used to regulate water levels in swimming pools. The ability to accommodate a sudden increase in pressure is critical with closed systems like radiators, where the increased pressure cannot be vented and could cause a rupture.

Surge tank design is dependent on the system is attached to. The device usually has a set of valves to control movements of fluids and gases from the tank and it may have an emergency relief valve designed to release pressure in the event of an emergency.

Surge tanks can also be used to bleed air out of a system, as air will rise to the top and it can be vented from the tank while a valve keeps fluids safely inside the system.

When installing a surge tank, it is important to use one designed and rated for the system. If the tank is not fitted properly or it is not strong enough, a catastrophic failure can occur. Many companies make surge tanks designed for various applications and it is possible to order custom models for particular settings, in the event that there is a special need. People fitting surge tanks to vehicles that do not come with a stock surge tank should be aware that such modifications can void a warranty.
