API 650 ground supported tanks testing of the shell

Production Weld Tests
Production weld test plates shall be welded for API 650 ground supported tanks primary-component butt-welded shell plates when welding procedure qualifications are required to be impact tested per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. The number of production weld tests shall be based on the requirements of Q.6.6.3 and Q.6.6.4. The locations impact tested (i.e., HAZ and/or weld deposits) shall likewise be the same as required for weld procedure qualifications per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. Weld testing shall be in accordance with Q.6.6.5. Test plates shall be made from plates produced only from the heats that are used to produce the shell plates for the large welded steel tank.Design calculations and drawings required API 650 ground supported tanks for the fabrication and erection of each API 650 tank. A drawing index for each API 650 tank is required and shall be re-submitted each time drawings are revised and re-issued.In November of 2015, Thailand one company contacted with us from Internet. They are find the trustable supplier of S355J2H seamless pipe API 650 ground supported tanks for there cable car supporter. Due to the special using of the pipes, they are very careful and servious when choosing the supplier. After one months contact and discussion by email, they come to our company. We drive to the pipe mill for visit of 2 days. Through this visit, they are very confident with our production ability and proucts quality. Finally, they accept the grade we suggest Q345D. After back to office, they put the order of 1400 tons pipe to us directly.In the actual welding of API 650 ground supported tanks, operators will use more arc-shaped plates for tailor-welding to better adapt to the larger volume of oil storage tanks. In order to effectively control the deformation of the welding seam of the API 650 ground supported tanks, a scientific and accurate prefabricated bottom plate is required. In the process of prefabricating the bottom plate of the oil storage tank, it is necessary to strictly follow the technical requirements for the construction of the oil storage tank. At the same time, it is also necessary to clarify the external dimensions according to its actual manufacturing standards so that it has sufficient shrinkage.The company specializes in heavy plate cutting, carbon steel pplate processing, carbon plate welding processing and sales of wide and thick steel API 650 ground supported tanks plates. It has high-quality CNC steel plate cutting and processing equipment, a professional technical personnel team, and supporting logistics distribution and after-sales service system. BBN company provides customers with solutions at low prices, high quality, and fast response service.
