Maximum design temperature of API Std 650 ground supported tanks

Structural shapes of 9% and 5% nickel steel may be furnished to the chemical and physical requirements of ASTM A353, A553, or A645. Physical tests shall be in accordance with the requirements of ASTM A6.
API Std 650 ground supported tanks used Piping, Tubing, and Forgings
Material used for piping, tubing, and forgings shall be compatible in welding strength, and thermal expansion coefficient with the tank shell material. In addition to the specific requirements of this appendix, all piping within the limitations of 1.3.2 shall fulfill the minimum requirements of ASME B31.3.

Test welds of each API 650 tank nozzle and manway reinforcing pad (or each section of multiple piece pad) using dry air and apply a soap solution test in the presence of Purchaser's Inspector before hydro testing the API Std 650 ground supported tanks tank. Tap one inch NPT test hole in each pad or section.

The hot weather in summer brings great security challenges to the vertical oil storage tanks, API Std 650 ground supported tanks standing outdoors. We must find some simple and effective methods to protect the API Std 650 ground supported tanks in order to make them safely spend the summer. As a API Std 650 ground supported 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.
