API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks single-welded lap joint

API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks Liquid Relief ValvesA tank, which is likely to operate completely filled with liquid, shall be equipped with one or more liquid relief valves at the top of the roof, unless otherwise protected against overpressure. When such valves are, in effect, supplementary relief devices, they may be set at a pressure not greater than 1.25 times the design pressure. Because the relief valve at the pump, which provides the inflow of liquid to the tank, is set at a pressure greater than 1.25 times the design pressure of any tank that may be built under these rules, provision should be made for preventing overfilling of the tank by a self-closing float valve, by some practicable pilot-valve control, or by any other proven device.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

After the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks is manufactured, air tightness test and water filling test are carried out according to the design requirements, and the pipeline must be subjected to pressure test to fully meet the acceptance technical specifications. Improve the quality assurance system, adhere to the principle of who constructed is responsible for the quality of the project, conduct regular quality inspections, and immediately rectify any problems. Fill in the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks installation technical records in time to ensure the synchronization, integrity and reliability of the technical data.
