API 650 open-top tanks testing requirements

The reticulated API 650 open-top tanks shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.

API 650 open-top tanks Oil measuring hole: The oil measuring hole is used to measure the height, temperature and sampling of the oil stored in the tank, and is installed near the tank top platform. API 650 open-top tanks Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguisher (also known as the flame arrestor) of the oil tank is composed of a fire box, a copper wire mesh and an aluminum partition. It is installed under the breathing valve or safety valve to prevent sparks and air from entering the inside of the tank through the breathing valve or safety valve and causing accidents.

API 650 open-top tanks Liquid Relief ValvesA tank, which is likely to operate completely filled with liquid, shall be equipped with one or more liquid relief valves at the top of the roof, unless otherwise protected against overpressure. When such valves are, in effect, supplementary relief devices, they may be set at a pressure not greater than 1.25 times the design pressure. Because the relief valve at the pump, which provides the inflow of liquid to the tank, is set at a pressure greater than 1.25 times the design pressure of any tank that may be built under these rules, provision should be made for preventing overfilling of the tank by a self-closing float valve, by some practicable pilot-valve control, or by any other proven device.

When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API 650 open-top tanks. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.

If you have any requirements for the mode of transportation of the API 650 open-top tanks goods, we can also negotiate and meet your requirements. For logistics, first of all, we respect customers' opinions, and then choose the most convenient port and transportation mode with appropriate price for customers.
