Maximum design temperature of API standard 650 open-top tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank pipeline stress and product pressure, tank pressure, uniform or non-uniform temperature difference between the tank wall and the tank bottom, which cause the radial displacement and longitudinal rotation of the API standard 650 open-top tanks tank wall at the opening to affect the oil tank wall The impact is obvious. Therefore, the design must ensure that the load applied by the external pipeline on the opening of the tank wall is within the safety limit. If the stress of the API standard 650 open-top tanks connecting piping is not handled properly, the wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank may deform or even rupture, causing a major accident.

Welding inspection of bottom plate of API standard 650 open-top tanks, vertical oil tank: During the fabrication and installation of API standard 650 open-top tanks, the bottom edge plate is welded first. According to the requirements of the technical standard, penetrant inspection is required for the weld of edge plate at the bottom of API standard 650 open-top tanks, that is, penetrant testing is required for each weld bead priming, filling and capping. In the process of testing, if any defect is found, it shall be repaired immediately. After the repair, the surface coloring penetrant test shall be conducted again until the test result is qualified.

Every after-sales service shall have a detailed record of the customer's product problems and handling methods. The records shall be sorted into volumes and filed on a monthly basis, and submitted to the technical department for filing. The problems found in the after-sales service shall be summarized in a timely manner, discussed with the technical department, the quality inspection department and the production department, and a proper solution shall be proposed for the technical department to improve in a timely manner;

Facing the new situation and facing new goals, the company revolves around the sixteen-character development policy of “prioritizing production preservation, society-oriented, market operation, and brand creation and efficiency”. Layout the country in accordance with the modern logistics model, and accelerate the establishment of a modern integrated steel enterprise integrating steel storage, transportation, processing, and distribution.
