API 650 ground supported tanks corroded thickness

Hydrostatic Test
The API 650 ground supported tanks product shall be vented to the atmosphere when it is filled with or emptied of water. During water filling, the elevations of at least four equidistant points at the bottom of the tank shell and on top of the ringwall or slab shall be checked. Differential settlement, or uniform settlement of substantial magnitude, requires an immediate stop to water filling. Any further filling with water will depend on an evaluation of the measured settlement.The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API 650 ground supported tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.We supply 3500 tons SA387GR5CL1 steel plates to Pakistan. The main businesses of the Pakistan customer are manufacturing columns & towers, heat exchanger, waste heat recovery boiler, pressure vessel & reactors, tanks, etc. We arranged SGS test for the SA387GR5CL1 steel plates. The test contents include chemical composition analysis, tensile test, impact test, etc. The test results are satisfied. The Pakistan customer gave good feedback after receiving the SA387GR5CL1 steel plates.Generally, external environment corrosion should be considered before design and construction of API 650 ground supported tanks and so on storage tanks. The corrosion on the outer surface of storage tank is often worse than that on the inner surface. Especially in the chemical industry area, there are often acid fog, alkali or salt dust in the atmosphere. These impurities form an active corrosive medium with dew or steam and oxygen in the atmosphere. The corrosion of the external environment of the storage tank shortens the maintenance period of the storage tank, even causes the storage tank to be scrapped in advance, which affects the normal operation of the storage and transportation.From the order to the delivery, there are three quality inspections to ensure that the qualified rate of finished products is more than 100%. We promise that every order will be tracked in a timely manner to ensure that customers can receive goods safely and constantly listen to their opinions and suggestions, reflect on our own problems, and let customers feel at ease. We have a large warehouse in Shanghai and Tianjin, which can provide customers with sufficient sources of supply.
