API standard 650 floating-roof tanks for elevated temperature service

API 650 internal floating roof tanks are generally called internal floating roof tanks, floating roof tanks, internal floating disk storage tanks, internal floating disk tanks, etc., specifically referring to API 650 storage tanks and oil tanks with aluminum, stainless steel, etc. The API standard 650 floating-roof tanks inner floating roof of series material is an environmentally friendly and economical storage tank that prevents liquid from volatilizing.

To scientifically evaluate the remaining service life of the API standard 650 floating-roof tanks, it is necessary to know the thickness change and development trend of the storage tank sheet after long-term use, combined with the metal characteristics of the storage tank, the influence of various external conditions and the continuous change of the oil pressure in the API standard 650 floating-roof tanks, etc. factors to judge. Because the metal characteristics, corrosion defects, load and other numerical parameters of the API standard 650 floating-roof tanks are randomly changed, the value of the remaining service life of the storage tank will also be dynamic.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

Our technical department plays important role in our professional communication with customers, especially those who have high technical requirements for steel materials and those who need complex further processing. Under such condition, our technician department can provide technical support in time, anylize customer design or make drawing according to customer needs rapidly, so that we can proceed smoothly. The profession of our team has won great praise of customers.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API standard 650 floating-roof 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.
