API 650 insulated tanks structural member thickness

Foundations and subgrade shall safely carry the weight of the tank API 650 insulated tanks and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the highest level required for a hydrostatic test or other water-loading operations, even though the tank itself may be designed for some lesser density of liquid. However, in cases where the character of the soil justifies it and a competent soil expert advises it, allowance may be made for the relatively short duration and intermittent nature of the water loadings if suitable account is taken of all such loadings that may be expected to occur during the life of the tank, including not only those loadings that are incidental to periodic repetitions of the hydrostatic test in accordance with 7.18 but also water-filling operations for gas-freeing purposes.

API 650 tank has the advantages of less load on the floating plate, simple and light structure, and can save the central drainage pipe and rotating floating ladder on the API 650 insulated tanks floating plate. The materials for easy construction and maintenance and sealing parts can avoid aging due to sunlight.

We have lots of successful cases, for example in July 2015, we exported 5714 tons ASTM A36 mild steel plate to Peru. After receiving the plates and putting then into use, our customer spoke highly of the ASTM A36 mild steel plate quality. In addition, the customer also introduced us an Venezuela customer, who bought 933 tons A36 steel API 650 insulated tanks plate from us. And then in Mar. 2016, due to the first cooperation in July 2015 is very successful. The customer is very satisfied with our product quality and comprehensive service. This time, the customer place an 3989 tons order directly.

API 650 insulated tanks, Oil tank is a large-scale storage equipment used to store oil materials. Usually, the service life of API 650 insulated tanks is related to the actual working conditions. The design service life of most oil tanks is 20 years, and some of them are 10-15 years. Generally, none of them is less than 10 years. However, the design service life of API 650 insulated tanks is on the one hand, which is an ideal state, but there are many objective factors in the actual process, it is impossible to achieve the designed service life. How to effectively increase the service life of API 650 insulated tanks?

We should focus on the main problems to be solved and pay attention to efficiency. After receiving the user's quality objection report data, the possible causes, responsible units, compensation amount, etc. of the problem shall be judged based on experience. To have a clear service plan, to be clear about what your main problem is, what technical support is needed, these should be prepared.
