API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks qualification of welders

API 650 petroleum storage tank pipeline stress and product pressure, tank pressure, uniform or non-uniform temperature difference between the tank wall and the tank bottom, which cause the radial displacement and longitudinal rotation of the API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks tank wall at the opening to affect the oil tank wall The impact is obvious. Therefore, the design must ensure that the load applied by the external pipeline on the opening of the tank wall is within the safety limit. If the stress of the API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks connecting piping is not handled properly, the wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank may deform or even rupture, causing a major accident.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.

Oil tank is an important equipment for oil storage. The common API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks is composed of foundation, bottom plate, wall plate, top plate and accessories. The types of oil tank are various, which can be divided according to the characteristics of material, installation position, storage oil, use, appearance, structure and volume of oil tank. The commonly used materials of metal oil tank are stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.

Strengthen system construction. The system itself has a certain binding force, which specifies the rights and obligations of employees. It is a passive management means for employees. Its purpose is to promote each employee to develop good professional habits, form good behavior norms, and promote the improvement of enterprise management level.

Management information and high efficiency. Because of the rapid flow of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks goods, container multimodal transport and "door-to-door" transport, it is required that the port must have a modern information network, so that it can have the comprehensive capabilities of all-weather access, rapid loading and unloading, customs clearance, collection, distribution, storage and transportation

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks plates such as- mechanical test, chemical test, hardness test, toughness test, eddy current test, impact test, micro test, flaring test, flattening test, etc. We are provided best packing for structural steel plates to avoid rust. Our after-sales service team will contact you if you have any question.
