Erection requirements for API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

The hot weather in summer brings great security challenges to the vertical oil storage tanks, API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks standing outdoors. We must find some simple and effective methods to protect the API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks in order to make them safely spend the summer. As a API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks manufacturer, in order to reduce the direct sunlight rate of the vertical oil tank, reduce the temperature change of the oil tank, and reduce the evaporation loss of the oil tank, we usually adopt the measures of applying sunscreen paint and washing with warm water.

Except as permitted by API standard 620 Q.8.6, the test shall be conducted after the entire tank is complete, before the insulation is applied. Except as limited by foundation or stress conditions, the test shall consist of filling the tank with water to the design liquid level and applying an overload air pressure of 1.25 times the pressure for which the vapor space is designed. The load on the supporting foundation shall preferably not exceed the established allowable bearing value for the tank site. Where a thorough evaluation of the foundation justifies a temporary increase, the established allowable bearing may be increased for the test condition, but the increase shall be not more than 25%.

For the team, cooperation is the core idea of daily work, and the core of common cooperation is resource sharing. With a perfect resource sharing mechanism, the whole team can be called a unity spirit.A good team lies in the ability to transfer resources, knowledge and information in time among team members in order to achieve the common goals of the team. So that we can share experiences and lessons."

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.
