API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks minimum roof live load

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.

There is no dome roof in the top of the vertical external floating roof oil storage tank, only the disc floating roof which can float up and down. The wall plates are connected by butt welding, and the construction is usually carried out by the forward installation method, and the storage capacity is usually more than 10000 cubic meters. Vertical internal floating roof API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks has both dome roof and internal floating roof. The internal floating roof floats on the liquid surface inside the dome roof oil tank and can float up and down. The storage capacity is usually between 1000 and 10000 cubic meters.

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 Std 650 flat-bottom 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.

BBN Steel Company adheres to the marketing concept of "first-class technology, first-class steel quality, and first-class logistics services". It is our goal to build high-quality carbon steel API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks, alloy steel plates and high-strength structural steel plate international-class boutique bases. Our logistic team will make customs clearance documents, track products production process, and update shipping information for customers. Creating value for customers is our pursuit.
