API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks pontoon design

Before pressure test, the main drain hose system of API 650 petroleum storage tank floating roof should be thoroughly flushed. Provide blind flanges, gaskets and bolts required for the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks test (other types of covers are also required if necessary). Covers for maintenance shall be provided in accordance with the interfaces specified by API 650 petroleum storage tanks, and these seals shall remain in place after the test; and for those interfaces that are not provided for maintenance covers, the covers can be removed after the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks test.

All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks, the consumption of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks.

Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.

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.)

Steel transportation because of the special material of API standard 650 aluminum 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.
