API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks qualification of welding procedures

Lateral braces between outer bay rafters must be provided if asymmetrical structural shapes are used for rafters and if the API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks API 650 tanks are located in areas subject to earthquakes. The bracing must be adequately sized for the seismic zone specified.

The main contents of safety inspection for atmospheric storage tank, API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks are to see whether the tank foundation is sunk, whether the tank is corroded, whether there are cracks in the tank body and bottom, whether there is concave convex phenomenon on the top and wall of the tank, whether the accessories of the storage tank are in good condition, etc. After the API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks safety inspection and detection, the defects found in the tank should be handled according to the inspection rules in time to ensure the normal and safe use of the storage tank in the later stage.

Preheat Treatment
Many laboratory tests have shown preheat treatment of carbon steel to 300°F-400°F to be the equivalent of the post-heat treatment at no less than 1100°F insofar as the physical properties of the weldment are concerned.40,41 Some tests have indicated a slight advantage of the post-heat treatment. Most of the tests have been made on plates 3/4 in. - 1 in. thick; results must be viewed with caution if preheating is applied appreciably beyond this thickness range. However, for all practical purposes, improvement resulting from preheating is sufficiently well established so that preheat should be considered for field fabrication of API 620 crude oil tank plates over 3/4-in. thick whenever toughness of the tank API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks is highly desired and the thermal post-heat treatment is impractical.

Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.

With the continuous development of foreign business, our company has achieved pleasant cooperation with a number of freight companies, including international air transport (including international express) and sea bulk cargo, we can provide the best service. In order to better develop the air transport from mainland to foreign countries, so that the goods can be transferred in Hong Kong in a timely manner.
