API Std 650 cylindrical tanks general introduction

Requirements for prefabrication of bottom plate of large vertical API Std 650 cylindrical tanks:
1. The diameter of tank bottom should be enlarged by 0.1% ~ 0.15% according to the design diameter.
2. The minimum dimension of edge plate along the radius direction of tank bottom shall not be less than 700mm.
3. The distance between any adjacent welds of the base plate shall not be less than 300 mm.

Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API Std 650 cylindrical tanks parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.

API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are generally called external floating roof API Std 650 cylindrical tanks tanks, which means that the storage tanks are externally open tanks without a dome design, and are equipped with vertical floating roofs. API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are usually used for large More than 20,000 cubic meters of open steel API Std 650 cylindrical tanks storage tanks for storing volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.

we develop very well through those years even the external environment is not conducive to the whole steel industry. With the prosperity of our group, our company always bear its staff who contributes to its growth in mind, and always on the way to improve welfare and treatment. That makes us staff and work with pleasure. On the other way, they creat a better and stronger our group. That may be one of the key factors why we develop so rapidly those years. Here we can say proudly “we are family”.

We are engaged in API Std 650 cylindrical tanks corten steel, weathering steel, atmosphere corrosion resistant steel materials. After receiving your inquiry about the weathering steel, we will make quotation for you at the first time. Meanwhile, our professional team can give you valuable answers about all kinds of question about the weathering steel. For example, corten steel cost per square foot, S355J2WP equivalent, API Std 650 cylindrical tanks ASTM A242 steel properties, A588 steel yield strength, etc. If you have any demands or questions about weathering steel, please feel free to contact us.
