API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks examination of welds

When the anchorage is designed to meet the requirements of API Standard 620 tank Q.3.6.4.2, the foundation should be designed to resist the uplift that results from three times the design pressure with the tank full to the design liquid level. When designing to any of the conditions in this paragraph, it is permissible to utilize friction between the soil and the vertical face of the ringwall and all of the effective liquid weight.

The reticulated API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.

In April 8th, 2018, our Philiphine customer purchased 1008 Tons API 5L Gr.B ERW pipes &Q345B seamless steel pipe for offshore oildfield resources drilling project. This is a regular demand almost every two month, and we has been cooperated more than three times, totally around 2100 tons API 5L Gr.B steel pipeline since 2015 year. We can supply the relative certificated for the API 5L Gr.B ERW pipes products like SGS report, B/L &Form M, and mill test certificate.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks. The common API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

The after-sale service of iron and steel products includes after-sale tracking service, technical guidance, transfer of relevant bills, handling of objections and many other contents. The handling of quality objections accounts for a large proportion. When dealing with these problems, we should distinguish the responsibilities, and compensate or return the inconvenience or loss caused to users due to steel.
