Shop-assembled API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks

Impact Tests for High Alloys
Impact tests are not required for oil steel storage material nickel alloy welds made with electrodes/filler metals covered by AWS Specification A5.11 or AWS Specification A5.14, provided the nominal nickel content is 50% or greater, and the weld is deposited by the shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW), gas metal-arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW), or plasma-arc welding (PAW) processes. When A5.11/A5.14 specifies the nickel content as a “remainder,” the nickel content shall be determined by summing the maximum specified values of the other elements (use the average specified value for elements with specified ranges) and subtracting from 100%.

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

In the year of 2015, customer from Peru oil refinery contact with us from Internet. After one month’s negotiation and quotation, they chose us as there supplier of raw steel plate API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks grade ASTM A36. We get an trail order of 300 tons in April. When the first ship arrived, they inspect the steel plate and very happy with the quality we supply. Then they put another 1700 tons order, we sent to them within 90 days. Our company management group visit the customer in the beginning of 2016 and the visit is very successful.

API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks Nondestructive testing is a technical means to detect the weld defects of large vertical tank and judge whether the weld is qualified by using the characteristics of sound, light, magnetism and electricity without damaging the tested object. Common nondestructive testing methods: ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), liquid penetrant testing (PT) and X-ray testing (RT).

We have a professional after-sales service team, the company has developed a clear service process and service standards, after-sales service team members strictly perform after-sales procedures, comply with service standards. The most important thing is that we have set up the correct concept of after-sales service, "customer first, sincere service for users".
