API Std 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks primary seals

It is very important for an enterprise to have a sound after-sales service system, which not only ensures the normal outflow and inflow of the company's products, but also improves the trust of the company's products in the hearts of customers. Our company has a special after-sales service team and good after-sales service reputation. In case of any problem in the use of our steel products API Std 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks , whether quality problem or not, the after-sales service department will assist in solving the problem as soon as possible, and regularly consult and track the use of the steel products.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API Std 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API Std 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API Std 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.
