ASTM A36 structural shapes API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank

Large Steel storage tank Anchorage
In addition to the loads in API 620 oil storage tank Q.4, Q.5.1, and Q.5.2, the anchorage for the tank that contains liquid, whether it be a single-wall tank or the inner tank of a double-wall tank, shall be designed to meet the requirements of Q.3.6.2 through Q.3.6.5. The anchorage shall accommodate movement of the tank wall and bottom caused by thermal changes. For anchored flat-bottom tanks, the anchorage shall be designed as described in Q.3.6.4.1 through Q.3.6.4.3.

The application of API 650 is as stated by the American Petroleum Institute: The production and installation of our ground welded steel API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank storage tanks are generally used in industry; under normal circumstances, the storage tanks installed on the industrial site in the United States are in accordance with API 650, API 620 and API 12d Standards are established.

In January, 2019, our South Africa customer purchased 669 tons S235J2+N carbon steel plates to use in their tank fabrication project . S235J2 steel, as a non-alloy structural steel grade, is mainly used in structural projects and tanks. J2 symbol -20 temperature impact test. The client required CEV 0.38%, S≤0.01%, 100% UT, Charpy V-notch impact test at-20℃, Z25 for S235J2+N plates. After they receiving the S235J2+N steel plates, the customer are very satisfied with the quality of this batch of API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank products.

The coating on the outer wall of API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.

We should help solve the customer's problems in time, not just verbally, without solving the problems or shirking the responsibility. Improving after-sales efficiency can make customers feel respect. We should take their problems seriously and show sincerity. It can also give customers a good impression and reduce the negative impact.
