API Std 650 anchored tanks wall thickness

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API Std 650 anchored tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API Std 650 anchored tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.

Welding inspection of bottom plate of API Std 650 anchored tanks, vertical oil tank: During the fabrication and installation of API Std 650 anchored tanks, the bottom edge plate is welded first. According to the requirements of the technical standard, penetrant inspection is required for the weld of edge plate at the bottom of API Std 650 anchored tanks, that is, penetrant testing is required for each weld bead priming, filling and capping. In the process of testing, if any defect is found, it shall be repaired immediately. After the repair, the surface coloring penetrant test shall be conducted again until the test result is qualified.

Low-pressure Storage Tanks for Liquefied Hydrocarbon Gases
API Std 650 anchored tanks Primary Components: In general, primary components include those components that may be stressed to a significant level, those whose failure would permit leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to a refrigerated temperature between –60°F and –270°F, and those that are subject to thermal shock. The primary components shall include, but will not be limited to, the following parts of a single-wall tank or of the inner tank in a double-wall tank: shell plates; bottom plates; roof plates; knuckle plates; compression rings; shell stiffeners; and manways and nozzles including reinforcement, shell anchors, pipe, tubing, forgings, and bolting.

Adhere to the strict management of factories, technology-oriented, adhering to "standard management, adhere to integrity, the pursuit of excellence, pragmatic innovation "Business philosophy, we are committed to creating a full-process, low-cost, high-quality, green and environmentally friendly stainless steel manufacturing enterprise.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
