API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks national standards plates

API 650 storage tanks API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks are only suitable for containers that can evenly support the entire bottom and containers for non-refrigerated equipment with a design maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks requires a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch. Other characteristics of the API 650 storage tank are: it is composed of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum.

Treatment of API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks welding defects:
1. Lack of fusion: once found, it should be shoveled and grinded off before re welding.
2. Incomplete penetration: over standard defects shall be removed and re welded. When welding on both sides, the shallow side of the groove can be grinded and shoveled to expose the welding root on one side, and then the welding is repaired.
3. Slag inclusion: over standard defects shall be removed and re welded.
4. Crater: weld to full after grinding.
5. Air hole: if the internal air hole exceeds the standard, it shall be welded again after being removed by grinding shovel, and the surface air hole shall be removed by grinding wheel and then repaired.

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 flat-bottom steel 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.

Customer service center has provided after-sales service for many large-scale information systems, and has accumulated rich working experience in the process of API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks service for many years. It can provide accurate, timely and high-quality support and service for users, which is well received by users.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
