API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks fabrication requirements

Selection of nominal diameter D of API 650 storage tank. In the design calculation of API 650 storage tank, the bottom plate thickness is the net plate thickness, that is, the actual thickness minus the corrosion allowance. In the design and calculation of API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks wall thickness in hydrostatic test, the thickness of bottom plate is the total thickness of steel plate.

The thickness of the API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks annular bottom plates shall be in accordance with Table Q-4 (for steel or aluminum, as applicable). The thicknesses shown are minimums. The ring of annual plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but it may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with Q.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by a weld as required by API 620 oil tank 5.9.5 except when a full-penetration weld is used or required (see Q.7.1.1). Butt-welds in annular plates shall be not closer than 12 in. from any vertical weld.

Unqualified welding quality of API standard 650 welded steel storage 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 welded steel storage tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?

Advanced typical figures and typical deeds are the embodiment and symbol of API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks enterprise spirit, outstanding ideas and vivid images, with strong demonstration, radiation and transmission effect. Without distinctive typical characters, there is no unique enterprise culture. In carrying out the construction of enterprise culture, the advanced enterprise culture should be typified. Vigorously excavate, discover, cultivate and summarize the company's API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks advanced models.

The main competitive means adopted by major domestic ports are to expand ports, build deep-water berths and channels, improve service quality to reduce the comprehensive cost of customers, and at the same time, to improve competitive advantage, we should also take appropriate measures to reduce relevant costs and prices.

Adhere to the spirit of quality first and user foremost, carry out maintenance and other work according to the requirements of the buyer's contract, and ensure that the engineering project and product after-sales play their application effectiveness. Our company guarantees to carry out self inspection and self supervision according to the quality management policy proposed by our company, and deliver a high-grade, perfect and excellent system engineering to users.
