Closed- and open top API 650 horizontal tank

storage tanks API 650 horizontal tank designed in accordance with the rules and guidelines of API 650 are called API 650 storage tanks. API 650 is a control rule for welded storage tanks that work normally in the normal pressure range.

API 620 Steel Oil Tank Bottom and Shell Support
The tank API 650 horizontal tank under-bottom insulation shall be designed to resist the combined pressures from the product load, the overturning seismic load and the vertical seismic load. These seismic pressures may be combined by SRSS.
The bearing ring under the shell shall be designed to resist the calculated OLE peak compressive force in the tank shell due to overturning (see API 650 oil tank, Section E.6.2.2), including dead and live loads. A 33 % increase in allowable bearing stress is permitted.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 horizontal tank mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 horizontal tank with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Our company was founded in 2009, and has been committed to steel business since its establishment. Over the years, the company's performance shows a good development trend, with a wide range of customers in the government, domestic and foreign markets. The company has always been in line with the tenet of "based on trust and win with quality", focusing on the market demand, with a long-term vision, with years of hard work and trustworthy operation, and the support of the majority of API 650 horizontal tank businesses and customers, has won the unanimous praise and trust of the industry and customers!

With the continuous development of foreign business, our company has achieved pleasant cooperation with a number of freight companies, including international air transport (including international express) and sea bulk cargo, we can provide the best service. In order to better develop the air transport from mainland to foreign countries, so that the goods can be transferred in Hong Kong in a timely manner.

After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication. After sales service personnel must do what they say in the process of communication with customers.
