The operating temperature of API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

API 650 tank has the advantages of less load on the floating plate, simple and light structure, and can save the central drainage pipe and rotating floating ladder on the API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks floating plate. The materials for easy construction and maintenance and sealing parts can avoid aging due to sunlight.

In April 2018, our Philiphine customer purchased 1008 Tons API5L Gr.B ERW&Q345B SMLS pipe for offshore oil field resources drilling project. This is a regular demand almost two month, and we has been cooperated more than three times, totally around 2100 tons steel pipe since 2015 year.

API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks, Oil tanks can be divided into above ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, offshore tanks and submarine tanks according to their installation positions. Oil tanks can be divided into crude oil tanks, fuel oil tanks, lubricating oil tanks, edible oil tanks, etc.. According to the use of oil tanks, oil tanks can be divided into production tanks, storage tanks, etc.. According to the external style, oil tanks can be divided into vertical tanks, horizontal tanks, etc.. According to the composition structure, oil tanks can be divided into fixed roof storage tank, floating roof tank, spherical tank, etc.
