API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks manhole necks

The working pressure of the low-pressure storage tank is greater than that of the atmospheric storage tank, but its pressure is less than 0.1MPa. API 650 petroleum storage tanks are classified according to their environment: Above-ground storage tank: refers to the bottom of the storage tank at the design elevation of API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks and above; the bottom of the tank is below the design elevation of +0.00 but not exceeding.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Foundations and subgrade shall safely carry the weight of the tank API standard 650 aboveground oil storage 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.

The quality inspection department is responsible for the inspection management of raw materials and finished products, and the quality inspection and acceptance of products and raw materials. Strictly abide by the company's management system, conscientiously exercise the management power given by the company, and put an end to all ultra vires; be responsible for the inspection of all kinds of raw materials entering the company, and put forward quality problems and handling opinions.

The company uses outsourced logistics operations. Our cooperated professional third-party logistics providers use the advantages of large-scale production and cost advantages to achieve cost savings by increasing the utilization of resources in each link, so that we can benefit from the separation of cost structure. Therefore, we can also provide customers with better, faster and more efficient cargo transportation, delivery, and lower freight costs.
