A516 grade 450 plates API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks
Welded steel API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks storage tanks that are designed, manufactured and installed on the ground are classified according to the API standard system. The three API standards API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks all adopt on-site production and installation of storage tanks.
API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks, Oil tank is a large-scale storage equipment used to store oil materials. Usually, the service life of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks is related to the actual working conditions. The design service life of most oil tanks is 20 years, and some of them are 10-15 years. Generally, none of them is less than 10 years. However, the design service life of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks is on the one hand, which is an ideal state, but there are many objective factors in the actual process, it is impossible to achieve the designed service life. How to effectively increase the service life of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks?
API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.
Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.
In particular, the EU imports a large amount of iron ore from central and South America and Oceania, which are mainly transported by sea. The perfect port infrastructure makes the port operation cost of EU iron ore raw materials import relatively low. However, the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks steel transportation between EU Member States is mainly railway transportation, and the EU member states have established a very developed railway network and railway information infrastructure.
