API standard 650 larger diameter tanks allowable longitudinal membrane compression stress in shell

API 650 stipulates that an open tank should be provided with a wind-resistant ring to ensure that the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks tank body maintains its roundness when subjected to wind. There are no hard and fast rules for vault API 650 storage tanks. It can be determined by comparing the equivalent wall height with the maximum height of the unreinforced tank wall.

Large-scale vertical API standard 650 larger diameter tanks mostly use internal tank bottom heating coils to heat the medium stored in the storage tanks. The heating coils are mostly smooth tube structures arranged in an annular circle along the bottom of the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks. Commonly used heating methods include hot oil circulation heating method and hot water steam circulation heating method. The hot oil circulation heating method is to continuously extract part of the liquid medium from the storage tank, and then return it to the container to mix with the medium in the tank after heating, and the heat is quickly transferred through mechanical stirring.

Welding of Large Steel Storage Tank Primary Components
a)Longitudinal and circumferential shell joints and joints that connect the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks annular bottom plates together.
b)Joints that connect sections of compression rings and sections of shell stiffeners together. Backup bars may be used for these joints with complete penetration and complete fusion detail.
c)Joints around the periphery of a shell insert plate.
d)Joints that connect the shell to the bottom, unless a method of leak checking is used (see Q.8.2.1).

When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API standard 650 larger diameter tanks. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.

BBN Steel Company adheres to the marketing concept of "first-class technology, first-class steel quality, and first-class logistics services". It is our goal to build high-quality carbon steel API standard 650 larger diameter tanks, alloy steel plates and high-strength structural steel plate international-class boutique bases. Our logistic team will make customs clearance documents, track products production process, and update shipping information for customers. Creating value for customers is our pursuit.
