ASTM A737 plates API standard 650 SUG III tanks

Static storage loss is also known as "small breathing" consumption. The rise and fall of the temperature in the API standard 650 SUG III tanks leads to the increase and decrease of the pressure in the tank, which makes the mixed oil gas discharged from the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption. Fluid level loss is also called "big breathing" loss. It is the oil consumption caused by the change of gas space volume in the API standard 650 SUG III tanks during the oil receiving and sending operation, which causes the mixed oil gas to be discharged out of the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption due to the change of liquid level height.

Allowable Design Stresses
The maximum allowable design stresses for the API standard 650 SUG III tanks materials outlined in Q.2.1 shall be in accordance with Table Q-3.The values for the allowable design tensile stress given in Table Q-3 for materials other than bolting steel are the lesser of (a) 331/3% of the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength for the material or (b) 662/3% of the specified minimum yield strength, but they are 75% of the specified minimum yield strength for the stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Allowable test stresses are based on the limitation of API 620 oil tank storage standard Q.8.1.3.

Test welds of each API 650 tank nozzle and manway reinforcing pad (or each section of multiple piece pad) using dry air and apply a soap solution test in the presence of Purchaser's Inspector before hydro testing the API standard 650 SUG III tanks tank. Tap one inch NPT test hole in each pad or section.

The company always insists on quality first. "Tolerance and trust, change and innovation, abide by rules, and focus on refining people" are the eternal credo of the team. Encouraged by the same creed and belief, BEBON people continue to grow and mature, and the team size is increasing expand. In the future, look beyond Chinese private steel companies to see BEBON. Looking to the future, we are not blindly pursuing bigger scale, but we are pursuing strength and brand strength.
