API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks maximum design pressure

BBN excels in the design, fabrication and erection of API-650 tanks. API (American Petroleum Institute) has created a set of standards for above ground API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks oil storage, but these tanks are also commonly used for gasoline, chemical and water storage. API-650 storage tank solutions range in size from an 8’ -0” diameter shop fabricated tank up to and beyond 100’ -0” diameter field erected storage tank applications.

Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.

Adhere to the spirit of quality first and user foremost, carry out maintenance and other work according to the requirements of the buyer's contract, and ensure that the engineering project and product after-sales play their application effectiveness. Our company guarantees to carry out self inspection and self supervision according to the quality management policy proposed by our company, and deliver a high-grade, perfect and excellent system engineering to users.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.
