API 650 open-top tanks for elevated temperature service
Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API 650 open-top tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.API 650 storage tanks API 650 open-top 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 open-top 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.In November of 2015, Thailand one company contacted with us from Internet. They are find the trustable supplier of S355J2H seamless pipe API 650 open-top 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.Due to irregular operation of API 650 open-top tanks welding, there are many weld deformations during the construction process. Before specific operations, most construction units have formulated relatively complete construction plans and set up special welding process instructions, but the operators have not fully performed welding in accordance with various process guidance requirements and construction specifications, resulting in some quality problems of oil storage tanks. How can we reduce or even avoid this kind of situation?The company has a professional after-sales service team and good after-sales service reputation, providing full and uninterrupted after-sales service, to ensure timely and rapid solution to customer problems.
