API Std 650 self-anchored tanks design metal temperature

API 650 is widely used for tanks that are designed to internal pressures of 2.5 PSI or less and store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and API Std 650 self-anchored tanks produced water. Advance Tank has extensive experience with API 650 tanks ranging in diameter from 8' - 300' for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other clients.

All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API Std 650 self-anchored tanks, the consumption of API Std 650 self-anchored tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API Std 650 self-anchored tanks.

Inspection of Butt-welds in Piping
Butt-welds in piping and in API Std 650 self-anchored tanks pipe fittings within the limitations of 1.3.2 (including the annular space of double- wall tanks) shall be inspected in conformance with API 620 oil tank standard Q.7.7.2 through Q.7.7.6. Longitudinal welded joints in piping that contains liquid shall be completely radiographed except for manufactured pipe welded without filler metal, 12 in. or less in diameter, which is tested hydrostatically or by eddy current to ASTM requirements.

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.

The company's logistics and transportation department is responsible for developing high-quality third-party logistics companies, to coordinate and follow up the situation of steel materials transportation. Third-party logistics companies provide us with professional logistics services. With this logistics management method, the time for delivery of steel materials is faster, and the logistics service is professional, multifunctional and comprehensive.
