API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks design internal pressure

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.

Large Low-Pressure Tanks Corrosion Allowance
In cases in which the rate of corrosion is closely predictable, additional metal thickness over and above that required for the initial operating conditions shall be provided and shall be at least equal to the expected corrosion loss during the desired life of the tank.
When corrosion effects are indeterminate before the tank is designed (although they are known to be inherent to some degree in the service for which the tank is to be used), and when corrosion is incidental, localized, or variable in rate and extent, the best judgement of the API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks designer must be exercised in establishing reasonable maximum excess tank wall thicknesses. For all tanks that come under this classification, a minimum corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. shall be provided.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks. The soil endurance in the API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks construction area plays a decisive role in the basic cost of the tank. In areas with high soil resistance, not only the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced, but also the ratio of height to diameter of storage tank can be obtained. Therefore, the investment cost of the API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

Training is one of the important factors in the construction of corporate culture. Online training system can be used to enable all employees to take advantage of fragmented time and carry out targeted training anytime and anywhere without the limitation of time and region. Through training to improve work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career, and produce results.
