API standard 650 unanchored tanks welding methods

In API 650 oil storage tank, when the mixing ratio of combustible medium and air reaches a certain limit, it is easy to cause explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to add API standard 650 unanchored tanks external floating roof to open cylindrical steel API standard 650 unanchored tanks tank. At present, the external floating roof is most suitable for large-scale API 650 oil storage tank in China, ranging from 20000, 30000, 50000 cubic meters to 100000 cubic meters.

API standard 650 unanchored tanks belongs to metal oil tank. Metal oil tank is a kind of vessel made by welding steel plate. The common shapes of metal tank are vertical metal tank, horizontal metal tank and spherical metal tank. The advantages of API standard 650 unanchored tanks etc. metal oil tank are good sealing, not easy to leak, can be installed with heating and insulation function, metal tank can withstand high internal pressure, large vertical metal tank such as API standard 650 unanchored tanks also has the characteristics of small floor space and large storage capacity.

The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API standard 650 unanchored tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.

We can process the steel materials according to your drawing. Or if you can not make drawing, please send us API standard 650 unanchored tanks specific data and requirements, our technical department can make design and drawing for you, and then confirm with your technician or engineer. If all is OK, our processing center will process the steel materials according to the drawing. So no matter what size and shapes you need, we can meet demands at the most time.

Land transportation inquiry: (RMB fee) it is required to master the kilometers and towing price of major cities; packing price of each port area; customs clearance fee, commodity inspection fee, and animal and plant inspection fee standard. Key information to be clarified after accepting the consignation of the consignor (generally fax): shipping date, number of packages, box type, box quantity, gross weight and volume.
