API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks vacuum breakers

When as-rolled plate material complies with impact test requirements as specified here, the material need not be normalized. If, as with ASTM A516, the specification prohibits impact test without normalizing but otherwise permits as-rolled plates, the API 620 welded storage tanks material may be ordered in accordance with the above provision and identified as “MOD” for this API modification.This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks design, supply fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached datasheets and/or drawings.In January, 2019, our South Africa customer purchased 669 tons S235J2+N carbon steel plates to use in their tank fabrication project . S235J2 steel, as a non-alloy structural steel grade, is mainly used in structural projects and tanks. J2 symbol -20 temperature impact test. The client required CEV 0.38%, S≤0.01%, 100% UT, Charpy V-notch impact test at-20℃, Z25 for S235J2+N plates. After they receiving the S235J2+N steel plates, the customer are very satisfied with the quality of this batch of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks products.The main reason of "small breathing" loss of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks is the change of atmospheric temperature. When the temperature rises with the increase of solar radiation from dawn, the temperature of oil in the API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks also changes, resulting in the acceleration of evaporation speed and the increase of evaporation pressure. When the pressure exceeds the positive pressure rating of the breathing valve, the oil-gas mixture in the API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks is discharged into the atmosphere through the breathing valve, which is the "exhalation" process of the oil tank.Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks plates such as- mechanical test, chemical test, hardness test, toughness test, eddy current test, impact test, micro test, flaring test, flattening test, etc. We are provided best packing for structural steel plates to avoid rust.
