Longitudinal or transverse non-tight bulkheads fitted in a tank to decrease the swashing action of the liquid contents. Their function is greatest when the tanks are partially filled. Without them the unrestricted action of the liquid against the sides of the tank would be severe. A plate serving this purpose is called a swash plate.
Into eyenziwa sisikhephe esivulekileyo ekuzaliseni amanzi athathwa emacaleni. Amacandelo enqanawe angangeni manzi amade okanye anqamlezileyo alingana kwitanki ukunciphisa isenzo sesiqulatho esicwengileyo samanzi. Imisebenzi yawo mikhulu xa inxenye yeetanki izalisiwe. Ngaphandle kwazo isenzo esingathintelekanga samanzi acwengileyo ngokuchasene namacala etanki sizakuba ngqongqo. Ipleyiti esetyenziselwa le njongo ibizwa ngokuba yipleyiti ye-Swash.
