API 650 liquid storage tanks inquiry references

Fabricated to API standard 650 Welded Tanks for Oil Storage Shop Assembled API 650 liquid storage tanks Storage Tanks, these tanks are commonly used at oil and natural gas terminals, API 650 liquid storage tanks processing plants, and midstream facilities located along pipelines at the pumping, compression, or metering stations. API 650 storage tanks are designed and fabricated considering operating pressures up to 2.5 PSIG, corrosion allowance, wind loading, and seismicity.

After the API 650 liquid storage tanks is manufactured, air tightness test and water filling test are carried out according to the design requirements, and the pipeline must be subjected to pressure test to fully meet the acceptance technical specifications. Improve the quality assurance system, adhere to the principle of who constructed is responsible for the quality of the project, conduct regular quality inspections, and immediately rectify any problems. Fill in the API 650 liquid storage tanks installation technical records in time to ensure the synchronization, integrity and reliability of the technical data.

Bearing on Foundations
Foundations shall preferably be designed to resist the load exerted by the API Standard 620 tank and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the design liquid level. Foundations shall be designed at least for the maximum operating conditions including the wind load. During the API 650 liquid storage tanks water test, the total load on the foundation shall not exceed 125% of the allowable loading. If necessary, the water level during the test may be reduced below the design liquid level line so as not to exceed the 25% maximum overload (see Q.8.1.2).

Our company will set up a full-time service engineer for the project, who is responsible for the interface and coordination of technical support and after-sales service of the API 650 liquid storage tanks project. In response process of customer service center, in case of technical support and after-sales service demand, the user shall contact the full-time engineer of API 650 liquid storage tanks customer service center, and the technical personnel will give corresponding answers and on-site treatment according to the needs of users.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API 650 liquid storage tanks steel, is a metal with "iron" as the main basic element, small volume and large weight, and easy to oxidize and rust when contacting with air and rain water, so there are many precautions in the transportation of steel. There are 11 proverbs for steel transportation: "evenly placed, moisture-proof and rust proof". Our company chooses the logistics aspect to be very rigorous, takes the customer's request as the standard, guarantees the steel product quality.
