API 650 open-top tanks restrictions on stiffening rings

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API 650 open-top tanks tanks below 5000 m.

Inspection of weld and micro crack of API 650 open-top tanks: the inner and outer surface of API 650 open-top tanks, weld and heat affected zone shall be observed by naked eyes first. 100% ultrasonic testing or 100% penetrant testing are carried out for butt welds of API 650 open-top tanks. For the defects found by 100% magnetic particle inspection, dye detection, 100% ultrasonic inspection or 100% penetrant inspection, the radiographic inspection shall be used again to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API 650 open-top tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.

For the team, cooperation is the core idea of daily work, and the core of common cooperation is resource sharing. With a perfect resource sharing mechanism, the whole team can be called a unity spirit.A good team lies in the ability to transfer resources, knowledge and information in time among team members in order to achieve the common goals of the team. So that we can share experiences and lessons."

Box making, door-to-door: fill in the packing plan: box making time, ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, door point, contact person, telephone number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date). Internal loading: fill in the packing plan: ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, cabin number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date).
