A106 grade A pipe API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks

Ultrasonic Examination of Butt-welds in Plates
Butt-welds in all tank wall courses subjected to a maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, greater than 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of the API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks plate material shall be completely examined.
Butt-welds in API 620 oil tank wall courses subjected to maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, less than or equal to 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of plate material shall be spot examined in accordance with Figure Q-2.

Supply covers for API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks connections specified with the service covers remaining in place following tests. For API 650 tank connections not specified to be supplied with service covers, the test covers may be removed after testing.

BBN had provided API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks Hardox plates for more than 15 years for widely applied in coal mining machinery, cement equipment, road construction machinery, engineering machinery, dump trucks, metallurgical area and port fields. In 2016,we brought our customer to visit our API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks NM400 steel plate producing line and our Shanghai warehouse for 30000 tons plate and structure. As a result, Our client purchased 500 tons NM 400 as first order, which is shipped by 3 times. In future, BBN will always guarantee that all the delivery condition for Hardox plate provided will be with quenching and tempering, which is the best delivery type according GBT 24186 standard.

Deformation of the welding seam of the API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.

After-sales service team is a key department to test the steel quality. Product quality is always the foundation of our survival and development. The company's full inspection from raw materials to finished products; and implements standardized, scientific, and strict internal quality control and management systems in accordance with the process flow during the production process; products can only leave the factory if qualified, and follow-up problem solving systems are implemented in after-sales services to guarantee the customers’ interest.
