API Std 650 ground supported tanks filler metal

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API Std 650 ground supported 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 ground supported 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.

Large Low-Pressure Tanks Corrosion Allowance
In cases in which the rate of corrosion is closely predictable, additional metal thickness over and above that required for the initial operating conditions shall be provided and shall be at least equal to the expected corrosion loss during the desired life of the tank.
When corrosion effects are indeterminate before the tank is designed (although they are known to be inherent to some degree in the service for which the tank is to be used), and when corrosion is incidental, localized, or variable in rate and extent, the best judgement of the API Std 650 ground supported tanks designer must be exercised in establishing reasonable maximum excess tank wall thicknesses. For all tanks that come under this classification, a minimum corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. shall be provided.

Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API Std 650 ground supported tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API Std 650 ground supported tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.

Aspire to technological innovation and pursue first-class quality steel API Std 650 ground supported tanks products.Take independent innovation as an important support for the sustainable development of iron and steel industry, strengthen the main position of technological innovation, accelerate the original innovation, integrated innovation, introduction, digestion, absorption and re innovation, improve the technological innovation system, and cultivate the core technology and brand products of independent intellectual property rights.

The main competitive means adopted by major domestic ports are to expand ports, build deep-water berths and channels, improve service quality to reduce the comprehensive cost of customers, and at the same time, to improve competitive advantage, we should also take appropriate measures to reduce relevant costs and prices.

The company conducts periodic and targeted training and guidance for after-sales service personnel. As the saying goes, "no one is perfect, no gold is red", to help after-sales service personnel improve service skills and correct service attitude. Carry out relevant technical training for after-sales service personnel, so that after-sales service practitioners have professional product knowledge.
