API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks local shear transfer

The application of API 650 is as stated by the American Petroleum Institute: The production and installation of our ground welded steel API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks storage tanks are generally used in industry; under normal circumstances, the storage tanks installed on the industrial site in the United States are in accordance with API 650, API 620 and API 12d Standards are established.

Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.

Determination of Required Capacity
The aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:
a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).
b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.

Our company is a specialized technical support and after-sales service organization - customer service center. At the same time, we have provided excellent technical API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks personnel and strong technical support for our company, and cultivated an excellent after-sales team for our company. Our company will appoint a full-time service manager to be responsible for the unified coordination of technical support and API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks after-sales service of the project.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API Std 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks steel, is a metal with "iron" as the main basic element, small volume and large weight, and easy to oxidize and rust when contacting with air and rain water, so there are many precautions in the transportation of steel. There are 11 proverbs for steel transportation: "evenly placed, moisture-proof and rust proof". Our company chooses the logistics aspect to be very rigorous, takes the customer's request as the standard, guarantees the steel product quality.
