API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks structural period of vibration

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks, the consumption of API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks.

The impact tests for API 620 welded storage tanks used pipe (including structural members made of pipe), bolting, and forgings, shall be in accordance with ASTM specifications ASTM A333 (seamless only) pipe, ASTM A36 Mod 1 plate, ASTM A131 Grades CS, D, and E steel plate, ASTM A633 Grade A CSA G40.21 Grades 38WT, 44WT and 50WT high-strength low-alloy structural steel plate, ASTM A350 carbon and low alloy steel forgings, and ASTM A320 Grade L7 bolts.

Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.
