API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks qualification of welding procedures

API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are generally called external floating roof API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks tanks, which means that the storage tanks are externally open tanks without a dome design, and are equipped with vertical floating roofs. API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are usually used for large More than 20,000 cubic meters of open steel API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks storage tanks for storing volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.

Tank cracks are common API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks defects, mainly including tank wall cracks, internal cracks, weld zone cracks. The reason for these defects may be that the defects not exceeding the standard existed in the early stage of API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks construction, which become obvious after the later use. Or in the process of using the API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks, the tank body material generated new defects due to corrosion, pressure, wear and other reasons, and tank cracks.

In this project a cylindrical tank 75 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 0.5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade B steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less.
The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The tank API standard 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks roof is a conical shape with a 2:12 slope and a 1/4 in. thickness with single full-fillet welded lap joints. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of juncture of the roof and sidewall.

BBN employees work hard and work hard in their work. In life, colleagues care about each other, like a family, and accompany each other at important moments in life. BBN Steel organizes employees to carry out tourism activities every year, so that families can be exposed to nature and relax physically and mentally. The good combination of working and rest can achieve the goal of hard work and happy life.

Box making, door-to-door: fill in the packing plan: box making time, ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, door point, contact person, telephone number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date). Internal loading: fill in the packing plan: ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, cabin number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date).
