API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks stored liquid

The interior of API 650 storage tanks to be internally lined or coated must have all edges rounded to a minimum of 3 mm radius. Internal welds must be completely seal welded, ground smooth, and free from API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks. The common API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

When the anchorage is designed to meet the requirements of API Standard 620 tank Q.3.6.4.2, the foundation should be designed to resist the uplift that results from three times the design pressure with the tank full to the design liquid level. When designing to any of the conditions in this paragraph, it is permissible to utilize friction between the soil and the vertical face of the ringwall and all of the effective liquid weight.

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.

The company's logistics department has the ability to monitor the whole process of logistics. We monitor the goods in transit through advanced information technology and communication technology, timely discover and handle problems in the transportation process, and ensure the steel materials are delivered to the destination in a timely and safe manner. The professional logistics team provides powerful support for good comments of customers and good reputation of the company.
