ASTM A671 pipe API standard 650 open-top tanks

The tank wall design of API 650 oil storage tank. Since there is no ventilation pipe directly connected with the outside on the top of the API standard 650 open-top tanks tank, the ventilation between the inside and outside of API 650 oil storage tank is realized by the respiration valve. The constant pressure of the respiration valve is 0.3kPa, so the pressure on the top of the tank is 0.3kPa.

API standard 650 open-top tanks construction must adhere to the design drawings, acceptance specifications and construction plans. If the design needs to be modified during API standard 650 open-top tanks construction, it must be approved by the original design unit or Party A’s representative and relevant personnel of the supervision unit, and written visa procedures must be completed in advance. The equipment and main materials used in the oil tank construction project must have certificates of conformity and quality assurance.

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 standard 650 open-top 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.

The company has an entrepreneurial team composed of highly educated and high-quality talents, whose leaders graduated from famous universities. As the first group of teams engaged in e-commerce industry in China, it witnessed the rapid development of e-commerce, accumulated rich steel professional knowledge and formed a scientific management system.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API standard 650 open-top tanks steel, is a metal with "iron" as the main basic element, small volume and large weight, and easy to oxidize and rust when contacting with air and rain water, so there are many precautions in the transportation of steel. There are 11 proverbs for steel transportation: "evenly placed, moisture-proof and rust proof". Our company chooses the logistics aspect to be very rigorous, takes the customer's request as the standard, guarantees the steel product quality.
