A516 grade 485 plates API 650 tanks

This standard applies only to API 650 tank API 650 tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Temperature Range: The provisions in this appendix are considered suitable for API 650 tanks design metal temperatures from + 40°F to –60°F, inclusive. In general, refrigerated tank primary components include those components whose failure would result in leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to the refrigerated temperature, and those subject to thermal shock. Further definitions of such components are provided in API Standard 620 tank R.1.4.2 and R.1.4.3.

Every after-sales service shall have a detailed record of the customer's product problems and handling methods. The records shall be sorted into volumes and filed on a monthly basis, and submitted to the technical department for filing. The problems found in the after-sales service shall be summarized in a timely manner, discussed with the technical department, the quality inspection department and the production department, and a proper solution shall be proposed for the technical department to improve in a timely manner;

The company's logistics and transportation department is responsible for developing high-quality third-party logistics companies, to coordinate and follow up the situation of steel materials transportation. Third-party logistics companies provide us with professional logistics services. With this logistics management method, the time for delivery of steel materials is faster, and the logistics service is professional, multifunctional and comprehensive.
