API standard 650 open-top tanks welding operator

The thickness of the overburden on the top of the API 650 oil tank should not be less than 0.5m. The surrounding backfill with clean sand or fine soil should be no less than 0.3m thick; the API 650 oil tank API standard 650 open-top tanks operation platform ladder selection unit is considered in a unified manner. The buried operation well is designed for buried horizontal oil tanks, and the two are compatible.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 open-top tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API standard 650 open-top tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Service Conditions and Hydrogen-induced Cracking
When the service conditions might include the presence of hydrogen sulfide or other conditions that may promote hydrogen-induced cracking effects, particularly near the bottom of the API standard 650 open-top tanks shell at the shell-to-bottom connections, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials and details of construction of the tank are adequate to resist hydrogen- induced cracking. The Purchaser shall consider restricting the sulphur content of the material to be stored through thickness testing of the steel, laboratory surveillance tests, and the use of internal tank coatings to reduce the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking.

In the final analysis, the market competition is the competition for customers. Whether selling products or services, the final customer satisfaction is the standard to test the success or failure of marketing work. The so-called after-sales service is to fully understand customers, study customer psychology, pay attention to after-sales details, improve work shortcomings, improve service quality, and Exchange customer brand loyalty through the whole process of quality service.

Due to the surge in business volume in recent years. In addition to coordinating our own truck fleet, our logistics department has continuously developed high-quality logistics companies and signed long-term cooperation agreements. While enjoying the professional and fast service of logistics companies, we have significantly reduced transportation costs.
