Seismic Use Group for API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks

Fabricated to API standard 650 Welded Tanks for Oil Storage Shop Assembled API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks storage tanks, these tanks are commonly used at oil and natural gas terminals, API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks processing plants, and midstream facilities located along pipelines at the pumping, compression, or metering stations. API 650 storage tanks are designed and fabricated considering operating pressures up to 2.5 PSIG, corrosion allowance, wind loading, and seismicity.

The main types of metal storage tanks are vertical dome roof tank, vertical external floating roof tank, vertical inner floating roof tank, spherical oil tank and horizontal oil storage tank. API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks is vertical tank. The capacity of vertical dome roof oil storage tank is generally less than 10000 cubic meters. The wall plate adopts sleeve type fillet weld, and it is usually installed by inverted or forward installation method during construction.

Thickness as it Affects Preheat and Post-heat Requirements
Plate with thicknesses below 1/2 in. is reasonably notch tough. In most steels, when the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks used plate thickness exceeds 3/4 in. – 1 in., notch toughness, particularly as welded, decreases sharply. The decrease in notch toughness can be minimized by the conventional post-heat treatment and, in many steels, by preheat treatment. The benefits of preheat treatment in steels 3/4 in. – 1 in. thick have been demonstrated; similar benefits could be expected in thicker steels, but sufficient experimental data are currently lacking.

The salesman of the company is familiar with all aspects of knowledge. Understand the company profile: group, company profile, various honor certification, enterprise's functional strength and other advantages analysis. Know the main product brand types and specifications of the company, and know the special knowledge of the product (production process and advantages of the product, simple identification method of product quality, etc.)

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks steel transportation industry.
