A333 grade 1 pipe API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks

API 650 storage tanks API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks are only suitable for containers that can evenly support the entire bottom and containers for non-refrigerated equipment with a design maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks requires a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch. Other characteristics of the API 650 storage tank are: it is composed of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum.

Welding inspection of bottom plate of API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks, vertical oil tank: During the fabrication and installation of API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks, the bottom edge plate is welded first. According to the requirements of the technical standard, penetrant inspection is required for the weld of edge plate at the bottom of API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks, that is, penetrant testing is required for each weld bead priming, filling and capping. In the process of testing, if any defect is found, it shall be repaired immediately. After the repair, the surface coloring penetrant test shall be conducted again until the test result is qualified.

In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks roof and sidewall.

The company has an entrepreneurial team composed of highly educated and high-quality talents, whose leaders graduated from famous universities. As the first group of teams engaged in e-commerce industry in China, it witnessed the rapid development of e-commerce, accumulated rich steel professional knowledge and formed a scientific management system.

The mode of iron and API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks steel logistics transportation is mainly intercontinental ocean shipping and inland rail transportation. European ports have been very mature after years of development, such as Hamburg in Germany, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Antwerp in Belgium. Relying on the huge market of the European Union, these ports are positioned in the logistics distribution function of cargo distribution and large import and export, and play a great role in the transportation of API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks steel logistics.
