5454 aluminum bar API Std 650 open-top tanks

Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.

X-ray inspection is mainly applicable to the internal inspection of pressure bearing parts and materials of metal oil tanks such as API Std 650 open-top tanks. It can clearly find the blocky defects inside the welded joints. However, the cost and resource consumption of radiographic testing are large. Magnetic particle testing can effectively detect the surface and near surface defects of API Std 650 open-top tanks etc. metal oil tanks, but magnetic particle testing can not effectively identify the internal defects of oil tanks.

The tank 20-in. inside-diameter nozzle shown in Figure F-6 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 148 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 11/2 in. A corrosion allowance of 0.10 in. is required on all surfaces of the tank exposed to the stored liquid. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the center of the opening is 24.9 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the API Std 650 open-top tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 1.44 in.
