API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks fittings and attachments

API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks Pressure-relieving DevicesTanks shall be protected by automatic pressure-relieving devices that will prevent the pressure at the top of the tank from rising more than 10% above the maximum positive gauge pressure except as provided in API 620 standard 9.2.2.Where an additional hazard can be created by the exposure of the tank to accidental fire or another unexpected source of heat external to the tank, supplemental pressure-relieving devices shall be installed. These devices shall be capable of preventing the pressure from rising more than 20% above the maximum positive gauge pressure. A single pressure-relieving valve may be used if it satisfies the requirements of this paragraph and 9.2.1.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API Std 650 flat-bottom 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.

After the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks is manufactured, air tightness test and water filling test are carried out according to the design requirements, and the pipeline must be subjected to pressure test to fully meet the acceptance technical specifications. Improve the quality assurance system, adhere to the principle of who constructed is responsible for the quality of the project, conduct regular quality inspections, and immediately rectify any problems. Fill in the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks installation technical records in time to ensure the synchronization, integrity and reliability of the technical data.
