API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks alternate designs

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.

All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks, the consumption of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks.

API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks Liquid Relief ValvesA tank, which is likely to operate completely filled with liquid, shall be equipped with one or more liquid relief valves at the top of the roof, unless otherwise protected against overpressure. When such valves are, in effect, supplementary relief devices, they may be set at a pressure not greater than 1.25 times the design pressure. Because the relief valve at the pump, which provides the inflow of liquid to the tank, is set at a pressure greater than 1.25 times the design pressure of any tank that may be built under these rules, provision should be made for preventing overfilling of the tank by a self-closing float valve, by some practicable pilot-valve control, or by any other proven device.

The company has a mature technical team whose reponsibility is to design the drawing, choose suitable material and evaluate the whole production processaccording to customers’ requirement. The company is led by talents and technology, and comprehensively promotes its six business segments like steel material supply, precision steel casting, environmental protection equipment, household appliance, API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks steel structures and oil tank projects. Seeking new developments in new technology and business areas, and fostering a large number of industry-leading, international-level projects.

In view of the characteristics of container transportation, such as high added value, low cargo damage and short time, our company takes more consideration of port collection and distribution conditions, port facilities, flight density and route coverage when choosing ports. For the convenience of customers, as well as the safety of goods.
