The maximum capacity of API 650 tanks

Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API 650 tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.

Before welding the API 650 tanks, the professional skills of the welding personnel shall be fully assessed to ensure that the operators meet the corresponding welding qualifications. According to the technical standards, scientific and feasible process requirements are actually formulated. In the process of welding the edge plate of API 650 tanks, electric welding is required on one side of the edge plate, so that the edge plate has a free shrinkage effect and greatly reduces the residual stress of the welding seam.

Temperature Range: The provisions in this appendix are considered suitable for API 650 tanks design metal temperatures from + 40°F to –60°F, inclusive. In general, refrigerated tank primary components include those components whose failure would result in leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to the refrigerated temperature, and those subject to thermal shock. Further definitions of such components are provided in API Standard 620 tank R.1.4.2 and R.1.4.3.
