30m diameter API 650 carbon steel storage tanks

One of the most widely used design codes is the API 650 Standard, from the American Petroleum Institute. The main objective of this standards API 650 carbon steel storage tanks is, through the requirements contained in its various sections, to facilitate the purchase and construction of vertical, aboveground, welded fabricated tanks assuring that required safety regulations are met.

The company attaches great importance to the cultivation of team spirit. Personal strength is weak. After sales service departments, leaders and subordinates often communicate with each other. Everyone often holds meetings to discuss their problems in after-sales service, discuss technical difficulties, discuss how to improve work efficiency, how to better deal with user complaints, etc.

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API 650 carbon steel storage tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.

During heavy rain, closely observe the change of the water level in the storage area of the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks. If the water level rises to the dangerous range, drain the water immediately. There are more thunderstorms in heavy rain, and lightning protection devices should be installed in the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks area to avoid lightning accidents. Observe the groundwater level of the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks area at any time, clean and dredge the drainage ditch in time to ensure unobstructed drainage, and prevent the bottom of the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks from leaking and rusting due to untimely drainage.
