Fabrication of API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank
BEBON is a large steel group with finance department, production department, sales team, technical department, quality control department, logistics department and after-sales service team. We are committed to creating a various culture system with its own characteristics, and work hard to create a first-class steel plate company in China. Based on the business philosophy of quality-oriented and strengthened management, the company continues to develop in this industry.
The mechanical seal of floating roof API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank relies on mechanical force to press the sealing steel plate tightly against the tank wall, so that it can slide on the tank wall and avoid gap as far as possible. However, mechanical seal has high requirements for the geometry of storage tank and poor adaptability, so mechanical seal is rarely used in newly built floating roof API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank.
Any joints between the adjacent sections of API 620 oil storage tank stiffening rings, as shown in Figure Q-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joint ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole and other weld joint ends and shall be completed by moving away from these ends. Passes shall be overlapped away from edges to provide a smooth continuous weld.
