Design of foundations for API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks

Before the start of erection, inspect each API 650 tank foundation to ensure that it is level and acceptable to receive Work. Remove temporary erection attachments welded to the interior or exterior of the API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks shell or to the bottom by arc gouging, and grind weld area smooth.

The coating on the outer wall of API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.

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 standard 650 open top welded storage tanks is highly desired and the thermal post-heat treatment is impractical.

After comprehensive and professional training such as customer service, the customer service team has more strict discipline in the management of customer service team to ensure that customer service personnel respond to customers with a professional attitude. A process supervision system has been set up to let each customer supervise the process of the system with us
