The design and construction for API standard 650 carbon steel tank

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API standard 650 carbon steel tank storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API standard 650 carbon steel tank certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API standard 650 carbon steel tank is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API standard 650 carbon steel tank should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.

Manufacturer’s Report and CertificateUpon completion of all tests and inspections on each tank API standard 650 carbon steel tank, the Manufacturer shall prepare a report summarizing all the data on the tank, including foundations (if they are within the Manufacturer’s scope of responsibility) and shall attach to the report all drawings and charts as required by other paragraphs in this section of the rules (see API 620 tank 7.13 and Appendix M).The tank Manufacturer shall furnish and fill out a certificate for each tank (such as that shown in Appendix M), attesting that the tank has been constructed according to the rules in this standard. This certificate shall be signed by the Manufacturer and the Purchaser’s inspector. This certificate, together with the nameplate or markings placed on the tank, shall guarantee that the Manufacturer has complied with all applicable requirements of these rules.

In line with the service concept of "honesty first, customer first" and the service tenet of "all for customer satisfaction", the company adopts the acceptance and response mode of combining manual and automatic, and accepts the diversified service demands of customer business consultation, complaint declaration, business acceptance, etc. through telephone, fax, e-mail, visit, letter, etc.
