API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks general requirements for delivery of plates

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

In the actual welding of API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage 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 standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage 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.

API 620 crude oil tank piping materials made according to ASTM A333 and A350 may be used at API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks design metal temperatures no lower than the impact test temperature required by the ASTM specification for the applicable material grade without additional impact tests. For temperatures below those allowed by the ASTM specification, the following paragraph shall apply.

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."

The company's logistics team adheres to the development concept of “gathering advantages, providing superior services, creating value, and leading the market”, and tightly focuses on the strategic positioning of “developing large-scale steel logistics and building large-scale steel supermarkets”. Facing the whole country and integrating into the world to build an "one center, one network" international circulation system. Through the development of 5-10 years, it is expected to form a modern steel industry with annual operating income exceeding 2.5 billion yuan.
