API standard 650 ground supported tanks with free vents
Under the condition of static storage without receiving and sending operation, the temperature of gas space, evaporation rate, depth and pressure of vapor in the API standard 650 ground supported tanks will change with the change of temperature and pressure in a day. The oil loss caused by the process of discharging oil vapor and inhaling air gas is called "small breathing" loss, which is also called static storage loss of oil tanks.
Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API standard 650 ground supported tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.
After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication. After sales service personnel must do what they say in the process of communication with customers.
Upon completion of API standard 650 ground supported tanks construction, provide Purchase with a Vendor's Certification that the tank conforms to the requirements of API 650 and to the additional requirements as specified.
