6061 aluminum plate API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks

API 650 storage tank is used for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks Storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures for storage tanks.

Due to the volatility of oil products, the volatile consumption of oil products is inevitable in the storage process of large oil storage tanks such as API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks. The volatilization of oil causes economic losses and pollution to the environment. Especially in the open air environment, large-scale oil storage tanks in the petrochemical industry will continue to accumulate energy when exposed to the sun, causing their surface and interior to heat up rapidly, causing sun overheating, and accelerating the volatilization of oil. How to effectively reduce the volatile consumption of large oil storage tanks?

The company always adheres to the concept of green production, follows the development path of innovation, transformation and improvement, and has carried out in-depth cooperation with Zhengzhou University and other scientific research institutes, planning from a high starting point, strict standard design, and successfully implementing engineering projects With nearly 20 research and development projects, the company's production technology and equipment are at the forefront of the industry, and indicators such as environmental protection, energy consumption, cost, and resource utilization have reached the advanced level in the industry.

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.
