A524 grade I pipe API Std 650 larger diameter tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API Std 650 larger diameter tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API Std 650 larger diameter tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

Impact Test Requirements for Oil Storage Tanks Primary Components
All API Std 650 larger diameter tanks primary components of 9% or 5% nickel steel shall be impact tested in accordance with Q.2.2.2 through Q.2.2.4. Impact testing is not required for primary components of austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Welds in high-alloy (austenitic) stainless steel shall be impact tested if required by Q.6.3.
Impact testing of plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with the following:a)Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling. b)Charpy V-notch specimens shall be cooled to a temperature of –320°F for A353, A553, and A645 steels for impact testing.

Unqualified welding quality of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks is prone to hidden dangers such as oil tank steel plate cracks and leakage. To avoid this situation as much as possible, it needs to be avoided when the oil storage tank is manufactured. Scientific and reasonable measures are adopted to control the welding quality when welding the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?

we develop very well through those years even the external environment is not conducive to the whole steel industry. With the prosperity of our group, our company always bear its staff who contributes to its growth in mind, and always on the way to improve welfare and treatment. That makes us staff and work with pleasure. On the other way, they creat a better and stronger our group. That may be one of the key factors why we develop so rapidly those years. Here we can say proudly “we are family”.
