API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank shell plates

API 650 is widely used for tanks that are designed to internal pressures of 2.5 PSI or less and store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank produced water. Advance Tank has extensive experience with API 650 tanks ranging in diameter from 8' - 300' for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other clients.

Management information and high efficiency. Because of the rapid flow of API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank goods, container multimodal transport and "door-to-door" transport, it is required that the port must have a modern information network, so that it can have the comprehensive capabilities of all-weather access, rapid loading and unloading, customs clearance, collection, distribution, storage and transportation

Large Low-Pressure Tanks Corrosion Allowance
In cases in which the rate of corrosion is closely predictable, additional metal thickness over and above that required for the initial operating conditions shall be provided and shall be at least equal to the expected corrosion loss during the desired life of the tank.
When corrosion effects are indeterminate before the tank is designed (although they are known to be inherent to some degree in the service for which the tank is to be used), and when corrosion is incidental, localized, or variable in rate and extent, the best judgement of the API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank designer must be exercised in establishing reasonable maximum excess tank wall thicknesses. For all tanks that come under this classification, a minimum corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. shall be provided.
