Behavior of API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks

Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:
1. API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;
2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃~150℃;
3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;
4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.

Allowable compressive stresses shall be in accordance with 5.5.4 except that for aluminum alloy plate the allowable compressive stresses shall be reduced by the ratio of the modulus of compressive elasticity to 29,000 for values of (t – c)/R less than 0.0175 and by the ratio of the minimum yield strength for the aluminum alloy in question to 30,000 for values of (t – c)/R equal to or greater than 0.0175 (see 5.5.2 for definitions). In all other equations in this standard API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks where yield strength or modulus of elasticity is used, such as Equations 27 and 28, similar corrections shall be made for aluminum alloys.

Deformation of the welding seam of the API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.

We have a stable system and professional human resource management work as the support, from the six aspects of guidance, cohesion, incentive, constraint, radiation and stability, we continue to introduce, modify and train employees from concept to action, and shape employees through constant guidance of common values.

BBN company is a modern enterprise integrating steel producing, warehousing and logistics, processing and distribution. We are committed to creating a "one-stop steel procurement service" platform. The main products are I-beam, angle steel, API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks , H-beam, hot-rolled coil, welded pipe, spiral pipe seamless pipe and many other steel products. Standing stocks amount to more than 30,000 tons, and complete specifications, the company gradually moves towards large-scale distribution enterprises with serialized products, standardized services and modern transportation management.

The results of adopting two-level API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks service system and implementing standardized management are mainly reflected in the formation of vigorous work style such as quick response and quick action. Our company's customer service center stipulates that employees must be accurate and quick in technical support and API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks after-sales service. Through the formation of this fast, agile, vigorous style, to provide users with satisfactory service.
