5652 aluminum plate API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks

The API Std 650 standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) is designed to provide the petroleum industry with welded steel tanks for use in the API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks storage of petroleum products and other liquid products commonly handled and stored by the various branches of the petroleum industry.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.

Large Steel Storage Tank Anchorage
In addition to the loads in API 620 oil storage tank Q.4, Q.5.1, and Q.5.2, the anchorage for the tank that contains liquid, whether it be a single-wall tank or the inner tank of a double-wall tank, shall be designed to meet the requirements of Q.3.6.2 through Q.3.6.5. The anchorage shall accommodate movement of the tank wall and bottom caused by thermal changes. For anchored flat-bottom tanks, the anchorage shall be designed as described in Q.3.6.4.1 through Q.3.6.4.3.

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The mode of iron and API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks steel logistics transportation is mainly intercontinental ocean shipping and inland rail transportation. European ports have been very mature after years of development, such as Hamburg in Germany, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Antwerp in Belgium. Relying on the huge market of the European Union, these ports are positioned in the logistics distribution function of cargo distribution and large import and export, and play a great role in the transportation of API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks steel logistics.
