API 650 liquid-storage tanks soil-structure interaction

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API 650 liquid-storage tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API 650 liquid-storage tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

For the welding of API 650 liquid-storage tanks bottom, attention should be paid to the slag removal and drying of the welding joint before welding, and there is no sediment and oil contamination in the lap joint of steel plate. The manufacturing quality and production efficiency of the central plate can be obviously improved by adopting the rolling central plate. The butt joint is used between the rolling plates to improve the installation conditions of the central plate at the bottom of the API 650 liquid-storage tanks. The welding sequence of the central plate is from the center of the central plate to the surrounding.

API 650 liquid-storage tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.

The salesman of the company is familiar with all aspects of knowledge. Understand the company profile: group, company profile, various honor certification, enterprise's functional strength and other advantages analysis. Know the main product brand types and specifications of the company, and know the special knowledge of the product (production process and advantages of the product, simple identification method of product quality, etc.)

Due to the surge in business volume in recent years. In addition to coordinating our own truck fleet, our logistics department has continuously developed high-quality logistics companies and signed long-term cooperation agreements. While enjoying the professional and fast service of logistics companies, we have significantly reduced transportation costs.
