API standard 650 larger diameter tanks designed for elevated temperature service
API 650 Application As described by the American Petroleum Institute, the fabrication and installation of our surface welded API standard 650 larger diameter tanks steel storage tanks is normally used in industrial applications. In general, our standards for industrial on-site installation of storage tanks are established according to API 650, API 620 and API 12D.
Product concept: take the technology leading as the pillar of the enterprise, achieve the development goal of the enterprise with the reliable products, the reliable technology and the trustworthy services, and devote to the creative reform activities leading in the technical development and career of the industry to create new value through continuous change.
Service Conditions and Hydrogen-induced CrackingWhen the service conditions might include the presence of hydrogen sulfide or other conditions that may promote hydrogen-induced cracking effects, particularly near the bottom of the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks shell at the shell-to-bottom connections, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials and details of construction of the tank are adequate to resist hydrogen- induced cracking. The Purchaser shall consider restricting the sulphur content of the material to be stored through thickness testing of the steel, laboratory surveillance tests, and the use of internal tank coatings to reduce the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking.
