API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank level gauge

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

The engineering quality of API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank not only affects production and operation, but also affects the life safety of the staff. The factors affecting the API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank construction quality are all aspects, any link, any part of the problem will affect the whole project, so the quality management is paid more and more attention. How to ensure the engineering construction quality of oil tank? First, make API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank construction technical preparation carefully, understand the design intent, master the construction acceptance specification, and make detailed construction technical disclosure to the construction team.

The thickness of the API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

For employees' development,  the company's transformation and development provides employees with a broad career development platform. The company needs "lion-type" entrepreneurial leaders who are full of entrepreneurial enthusiasm and dare to self-renovate. They also need a large number of professional and professional high-quality talents, and employees can get full capacity to display opportunities.

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 unanchored flat-bottom 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.
