The structure of the crude oil storage tank foundation mainly includes the insulating anticorrosion layer on the top surface of the foundation, the tank wall support, the edge retaining structure, the sand cushion, the oil and water barrier, the detection signal tube and other structures. The construction materials and requirements of each basic structure of the storage tank are different. After the structure of the crude oil storage tank foundation is built in accordance with the construction requirements, the settlement of the storage tank foundation needs to be observed, and the uneven settlement value of the storage tank foundation should be within the allowable safety range.

Structural shapes of 9% and 5% nickel steel may be furnished to the chemical and physical requirements of ASTM A353, A553, or A645. Physical tests shall be in accordance with the requirements of ASTM A6.
crude oil storage tank used Piping, Tubing, and Forgings
Material used for piping, tubing, and forgings shall be compatible in welding strength, and thermal expansion coefficient with the tank shell material. In addition to the specific requirements of this appendix, all piping within the limitations of 1.3.2 shall fulfill the minimum requirements of ASME B31.3.

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The crude oil storage tank internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.

In December of 2015, our regular India customer sent us an inquiry for crude oil storage tank pipe. The inquiry requires no negative tolerance in both pipes’ outer diameter and pipe wall. After two weeks’ discussion, he put the order of 275 tons to us. The pipes are finished within just one month. Our customer come to our factory to inspect the quality and tolerance, all the products are well meet his demand. The pipes are arriving to Nhava Sheva port, customer is very happy with our products and service during the process.
