ASTM A737 plates API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks

,API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks., Oil tank is a large-scale storage equipment used to store oil materials. Usually, the service life of API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks is related to the actual working conditions. The design service life of most oil tanks is 20 years, and some of them are 10-15 years. Generally, none of them is less than 10 years. However, the design service life of API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks is on the one hand, which is an ideal state, but there are many objective factors in the actual process, it is impossible to achieve the designed service life. How to effectively increase the service life of API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks?The API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:
1. API standard 650 carbon steel storage tanks Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;
2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃~150℃;
3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;
4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.Enterprise Motto:Integrity, harmony, dedication, innovation and developmentAbility is the cornerstone of success; action is the ladder of successGrow with the enterprise; progress with the enterpriseGive a platform to those who actually do things and a stage to those who successfully do thingsDare to be the first, to pursue excellence.We are leading supplier of pipeline steel.
