A841 grade A class 1 plates API 650 tanks
Butt-welded joints used to fabricate large steel storage tank fittings shall be completely radiographed. Lines carrying liquid shall be hydrostatically or pneumatically pressurized at a minimum pressure of 35 lbf/in.2 and API 650 tanks butt welded joints shall be simultaneously visually examined (hydrostatic) or solution film tested (pneumatic) for tightness. If manufactured pipe has been hydrostatically tested previously to ASTM requirements, then only circumferential welds need to be examined.
The working pressure of the low-pressure storage tank is greater than that of the atmospheric storage tank, but its pressure is less than 0.1MPa. API 650 petroleum storage tanks are classified according to their environment: Above-ground storage tank: refers to the bottom of the storage tank at the design elevation of API 650 tanks and above; the bottom of the tank is below the design elevation of +0.00 but not exceeding.
In 2018, one of our India customers visit Zhengzhou office building and work shop to discuss carbon steel Q235B grind plate technical request. They have strict surface and thickness tolerance, and they also request UT and MT for testing for Q235B grind plate. As a result, they purchase 179 tons as trial order for first cooperation. After using the gind plate, the India customer has good comment on our API 650 tanks quality. Till now, we keep exporting around 100 tons per month as regularly.
}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.
After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication. After sales service personnel must do what they say in the process of communication with customers.
