API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks annular bottom plates
BBN excels in the design, fabrication and erection of API-650 tanks. API (American Petroleum Institute) has created a set of standards for above ground API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks oil storage, but these tanks are also commonly used for gasoline, chemical and water storage. API-650 storage tank solutions range in size from an 8’ -0” diameter shop fabricated tank up to and beyond 100’ -0” diameter field erected storage tank applications.
Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks: The prefabrication of the tank top shall be prefabricated in blocks according to the drawings. Pay attention to the spacing of the welds after installation when setting out the material. Reinforcing ribs should be formed and inspected with an arc-shaped template. When a single top plate needs to be spliced, butt joints should be used. The forming of a single top plate should be welded between the reinforcing ribs and the top plate on the mould. After forming, check with an arc-shaped sample plate, and the gap should not be greater than 10 mm.
Surface Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Component PartsBefore assembly, unless already so certified by shop inspectors, all sidewall plates or sections and roof and bottom plates shall be inspected for thickness, freedom from injurious defects, and soundness of any welded joints.Check of Dimensions of API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks Component PartsAll formed plates and curved sections shall be checked for conformance with the planned dimensions and cross section. For unusual repairs the inspector should keep a record of measurements taken at sufficient intervals to constitute a satisfactory record.Check of Chemical and Physical Property DataThe inspector shall check the material being assembled by the lists of the plates from the mill, their heat numbers, chemical analyses, and mechanical properties as given on mill reports and shall see that copies are available to be attached to the Manufacturer’s report.
For the team, cooperation is the core idea of daily work, and the core of common cooperation is resource sharing. With a perfect resource sharing mechanism, the whole team can be called a unity spirit.A good team lies in the ability to transfer resources, knowledge and information in time among team members in order to achieve the common goals of the team. So that we can share experiences and lessons."
The mode of iron and API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks steel logistics transportation is mainly intercontinental ocean shipping and inland rail transportation. European ports have been very mature after years of development, such as Hamburg in Germany, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Antwerp in Belgium. Relying on the huge market of the European Union, these ports are positioned in the logistics distribution function of cargo distribution and large import and export, and play a great role in the transportation of API standard 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks steel logistics.
