The buoyancy mechanism in floating covers is based on the principle of displacement. The covers are designed to be less dense than the liquid they float on, such as water or wastewater. This buoyant force allows the cover to stay afloat on the liquid's surface.
The choice of materials and the overall design account for the specific gravity of the stored liquid to ensure proper buoyancy and stability. Overall, this quality ensures that the floating covers can remain afloat and maintain direct contact with the surface as water levels change, which is crucial for the covers' ability to effectively cover and protect the stored liquid.
