API standard 650 SUG III tanks bottom-reinforcing plate

Uplift on Foundation
For API Standard 620 tanks with an internal design pressure less than 1 lbf/in.2 gauge, the uplift shall be taken as the smaller of the maximum uplift values computed under the following conditions:
a)The internal design pressure times 1.5 plus the design wind load on the shell and roof.
b)The internal design pressure plus 0.25 lbf/in.2 gauge plus the design wind load on the shell and roof.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 SUG III 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.

ANDRITZ GROUP is the world's leading industrial group, with 29500 employees and more than 280 branches in more than 40 countries. We have cooperated with their Mexico company for many years about S355J2+N steel plates and cutting sectors. The S355J2+N steel plates API standard 650 SUG III tanks need to cut according to the drawing by standard tolerance, UT, MT and dimension request. The final application of the S355J2+N steel plates and cutting sectors are for assembling hydraulic machine.

Unqualified welding quality of API standard 650 SUG III tanks is prone to hidden dangers such as oil tank steel plate cracks and leakage. To avoid this situation as much as possible, it needs to be avoided when the oil storage tank is manufactured. Scientific and reasonable measures are adopted to control the welding quality when welding the API standard 650 SUG III tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?

Both parties shall confirm the API standard 650 SUG III tanks material object and the quality of the products, confirm the reasons for the defects and the quality of the products, and sign the quality inspection agreement. Major quality objections shall be reported to relevant leaders in a timely manner, and shall be discussed and solved with the API standard 650 SUG III tanks steel plant.
