Quality inspection of API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.Fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank includes inner floating roof tank, which API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks can effectively prevent sand, rain, snow or dust from polluting the storage liquid. Under various weather conditions, API 650 oil storage tank can ensure the quality of liquid storage, which is called "all-weather API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks storage tank".In 2014, we offered 175 ton Cold rolled stainless steel plate to Thailand. The API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks products are from TISCO. Here is the MTC that we offered to customer. We have our own quality team. Our quality team will inspect every order before shipment for customer. Normally, we will test the chemical composition, thickness, width, and length. Here are some pictures for last inspection.X-ray inspection is mainly applicable to the internal inspection of pressure bearing parts and materials of metal oil tanks such as API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks. It can clearly find the blocky defects inside the welded joints. However, the cost and resource consumption of radiographic testing are large. Magnetic particle testing can effectively detect the surface and near surface defects of API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks etc. metal oil tanks, but magnetic particle testing can not effectively identify the internal defects of oil tanks.The company specializes in heavy plate cutting, carbon steel pplate processing, carbon plate welding processing and sales of wide and thick steel API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks plates. It has high-quality CNC steel plate cutting and processing equipment, a professional technical personnel team, and supporting logistics distribution and after-sales service system. BBN company provides customers with solutions at low prices, high quality, and fast response service.
