API Std 650 special tank manual welding

Above-ground API 650 storage tanks (vertical cylindrical flat-bottomed storage tanks) allow the storage of large volumes of goods at low cost. The only limitation is that they API Std 650 special tank can be used under atmospheric pressure or relatively small internal pressure. There are different specifications and standards for the design of API 650 storage tanks.

Proper use of API Std 650 special tank and precautions:
1. The API Std 650 special tank must be used within the safe height range;
2. Check before use to ensure that the safety valve and breathing valve are flexible and easy to use;
3. The explosion-proof and fire-proof safety measures for oil tanks are implemented effectively;
4. The oil level in the API Std 650 special tank should be accurately measured when receiving and delivering oil, so as to prevent overflow or empty;
5. In the process of receiving and sending oil, the flow rate of oil should be controlled, and it should not be too fast to avoid electrostatic accidents.

When as-rolled plate material complies with impact test requirements as specified here, the material need not be normalized. If, as with ASTM A516, the specification prohibits impact test without normalizing but otherwise permits as-rolled plates, the API 620 welded storage tanks material may be ordered in accordance with the above provision and identified as “MOD” for this API modification.

We can process the steel materials according to your drawing. Or if you can not make drawing, please send us API Std 650 special tank specific data and requirements, our technical department can make design and drawing for you, and then confirm with your technician or engineer. If all is OK, our processing center will process the steel materials according to the drawing. So no matter what size and shapes you need, we can meet demands at the most time.

In particular, the EU imports a large amount of iron ore from central and South America and Oceania, which are mainly transported by sea. The perfect port infrastructure makes the port operation cost of EU iron ore raw materials import relatively low. However, the API Std 650 special tank steel transportation between EU Member States is mainly railway transportation, and the EU member states have established a very developed railway network and railway information infrastructure.
