API 650 carbon steel storage tanks floating suction line

The main reason of "small breathing" loss of API 650 carbon steel storage tanks is the change of atmospheric temperature. When the temperature rises with the increase of solar radiation from dawn, the temperature of oil in the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks also changes, resulting in the acceleration of evaporation speed and the increase of evaporation pressure. When the pressure exceeds the positive pressure rating of the breathing valve, the oil-gas mixture in the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks is discharged into the atmosphere through the breathing valve, which is the "exhalation" process of the oil tank.

Ultrasonic Examination of Butt-welds in Plates
Butt-welds in all tank wall courses subjected to a maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, greater than 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks plate material shall be completely examined.
Butt-welds in API 620 oil tank wall courses subjected to maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, less than or equal to 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of plate material shall be spot examined in accordance with Figure Q-2.

API 650 sets minimum requirements for the design, material, construction, and testing for aboveground, open and closed-top, cylindrical API 650 carbon steel storage tanks steel storage tanks in different capacities and sizes, roughly equating to the pressure of the atmosphere (not greater than the weight of the roof plates).

We had a wonderful trip in Phuket Island, Thailand. At the end of 2019, in order to thank employees for their hard work for a year and enrich their lives, our company organized a pleasant trip to Phuket Island, Thailand. The tour lasted 6 days and 5 nights, and returned by plane on the evening of December 27. We took off in Zhengzhou at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the 22th December.

There is a silo technology R&D center in our company with many experts. Our technical backbones go abroad to study advanced technologies regularly to make our technology and products leading in the world. We provide our customers with API 650 carbon steel storage tanks high-quality steel plates, the excellent quality from specialty. With good reputation, high-quality products, strong strength, and low prices, we welcome the clients from the world to come to visit our factory.
