API Std 650 self-anchored tank depth of fusion

BBN excels in the design, fabrication and erection of API-650 tanks. API (American Petroleum Institute) has created a set of standards for above ground API Std 650 self-anchored tank oil storage, but these tanks are also commonly used for gasoline, chemical and water storage. API-650 storage tank solutions range in size from an 8’ -0” diameter shop fabricated tank up to and beyond 100’ -0” diameter field erected storage tank applications.

The normal operation of API Std 650 self-anchored tank includes receiving oil, storing oil, sending oil and measuring oil. The correct use and operation of oil storage tank is directly related to the production safety and oil loss of oil tank. In order to use and operate the API Std 650 self-anchored tank correctly, it is necessary to be familiar with and master the structure and performance of the API Std 650 self-anchored tank and its accessories, such as the maximum storage capacity of the oil tank, the pressure range that can bear and the safety fabrication specification.

Preheat Treatment
Many laboratory tests have shown preheat treatment of carbon steel to 300°F-400°F to be the equivalent of the post-heat treatment at no less than 1100°F insofar as the physical properties of the weldment are concerned.40,41 Some tests have indicated a slight advantage of the post-heat treatment. Most of the tests have been made on plates 3/4 in. - 1 in. thick; results must be viewed with caution if preheating is applied appreciably beyond this thickness range. However, for all practical purposes, improvement resulting from preheating is sufficiently well established so that preheat should be considered for field fabrication of API 620 crude oil tank plates over 3/4-in. thick whenever toughness of the tank API Std 650 self-anchored tank is highly desired and the thermal post-heat treatment is impractical.

BBN employees work hard and work hard in their work. In life, colleagues care about each other, like a family, and accompany each other at important moments in life. BBN Steel organizes employees to carry out tourism activities every year, so that families can be exposed to nature and relax physically and mentally. The good combination of working and rest can achieve the goal of hard work and happy life.

Facing the new situation and facing new goals, the company revolves around the sixteen-character development policy of “prioritizing production preservation, society-oriented, market operation, and brand creation and efficiency”. Layout the country in accordance with the modern logistics model, and accelerate the establishment of a modern integrated steel enterprise integrating steel storage, transportation, processing, and distribution.
