5083 aluminum bar API 650 horizontal tank

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 API 650 horizontal tank is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI, used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 horizontal tank API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other customers.

During the use of API 650 horizontal tank, the tank material is prone to crack and leakage under the action of pressure, corrosion, wear and other conditions. Especially in the oil producing area, the temperature difference in four seasons is large and the natural environment is bad, which will accelerate the consumption of oil storage tank and cause many potential safety hazards. Therefore, the API 650 horizontal tank must undergo strict inspections before being put into use after the production and installation are completed, so as to avoid cracks and leakage in short-term use and affect production safety.

In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.

The company has five major departments: steel plate production department (including quality inspection team), sales department, market development department, after-sales and logistics department, and finance department. The backbone of steel business from all over the country, with the chairman as the core, integrates self-confidence, independence, passion and responsibility, and strives for excellence! All people share the same belief: "Being a refined steel product line rewards customers, strengthen the steel industry, and realize the corporate dream!
