API standard 650 special tank welding methods

API 650 Application As described by the American Petroleum Institute, the fabrication and installation of our surface welded API standard 650 special tank 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.

Prefabrication requirements of large vertical API standard 650 special tank accessories: the prefabrication shall be deepened as far as possible in strict accordance with the requirements of construction drawings and specifications, according to the principle of convenient installation and construction, as much as possible to reduce the installation workload, especially the workload of high-altitude operation. The prefabricated accessories shall be strictly inspected to ensure the quality and make marks. In addition, effective measures should be taken to prevent deformation, damage and corrosion during storage, transportation and stacking on site.

Low-pressure Storage Tanks Fireproofing
Although general fire prevention and fire protection measures are expected to be fully covered by other safety codes, tanks API standard 650 special tank constructed according to these rules, which may be subject to fire exposure resulting from any cause, shall have their supports suitably fireproofed.
Special consideration shall be given to provisions for ample drainage facilities for accidental spills or leakage of flammable contents from such tanks or adjacent piping and other equipment if the contents may become ignited.
Subject to special considerations in isolated locations, tanks in which flammable liquid products are stored at temperatures well above their average boiling point shall be suitably fireproofed or otherwise protected.

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

Accept the inquiry from the owner of the goods and the inquiry by sea: master the port and price from the port of shipment to all continents and routes, and the port and price that the owner often needs to serve; the shipping schedule information of the main shipping companies; when necessary, ask the owner of the inquiry for some category information, such as the name of the goods, the level of danger, etc. (water hazard code).
