API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks inspector

The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.

While GB50341 generally takes the weld coefficient as 0.9;When the minimum yield strength of API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks steel plate is greater than 390 MPa, take 0.85. The thickness of API 650 tanks is generally smaller than that of GB50341, and this difference is particularly evident in the design of large tanks, where the overall weight of the tanks varies greatly.

In October 19th 2018, our Malaysia customer purchased 600 Tons CCS Grade AH36 mairne steel API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks plates to use in their shipbuilding project .This customer is a famous shipyard company in Malaysia. Their company has the business scope of tourism, shipbuilding, transportation and so on. As a terminal manufacturer, they have strict requirements on quality for CCS Grade AH36 mairne steel plates. After visiting our steel milll, the customer is very satisfied with the quality of this batch of CCS Grade AH36 steel plates.

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 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.
