API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks shell support
The thickness of the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks annular bottom plates shall be in accordance with Table Q-4 (for steel or aluminum, as applicable). The thicknesses shown are minimums. The ring of annual plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but it may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with Q.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by a weld as required by API 620 oil tank 5.9.5 except when a full-penetration weld is used or required (see Q.7.1.1). Butt-welds in annular plates shall be not closer than 12 in. from any vertical weld.
Floating roof is the key component of floating roof API 650 storage tank, which can be divided into external floating roof and internal API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks floating roof. The internal floating roof has a fixed top cover above the floating roof, which can prevent the floating roof from being exposed to wind and rain, and ensure the quality of oil stored under API 650 storage tank.
The Philiphine customer is our old customer, and they are engaged in offshore oilfield resources drilling projects. Thus they have regular steel demands.

Since our first success cooperation, we have cooperated with each other regularly. And they also bring us new opportunities and signification in Philippians market.
}Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks. The common API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.
