API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks full-face gasket

API 650 internal floating roof tanks are generally called internal floating roof tanks, floating roof tanks, internal floating disk storage tanks, internal floating disk tanks, etc., specifically referring to API 650 storage tanks and oil tanks with aluminum, stainless steel, etc. The API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks inner floating roof of series material is an environmentally friendly and economical storage tank that prevents liquid from volatilizing.

Strictly control the welding groove forming of API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks: in order to ensure the geometric dimension of assembly and good welding of welding seam, before hoisting and laying, the edge of all metal vertical storage tank plate shall be polished by grinder, and the flatness of plate shall be ensured according to the design requirements. Strictly control the size of API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks weld assembly: measures must be taken to strictly control the assembly size of metal vertical tank bottom plate during assembly.

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

The company regularly holds sales elites to share experiences, to promote the rapid growth of colleagues, and achieve the company and employees. The company conducts employee skill training and related knowledge video learning from time to time. All these things is to improve the employees' skills and literacy, and reflects its own value. It has always been the pursuit of BBN steel to enhance the employee’s ability and keep up with the times.

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API standard 650 low-alloy steel tanks goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.
