Dome roofs API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks

Inspection of Butt-welds in Piping
Butt-welds in piping and in API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks pipe fittings within the limitations of 1.3.2 (including the annular space of double- wall tanks) shall be inspected in conformance with API 620 oil tank standard Q.7.7.2 through Q.7.7.6. Longitudinal welded joints in piping that contains liquid shall be completely radiographed except for manufactured pipe welded without filler metal, 12 in. or less in diameter, which is tested hydrostatically or by eddy current to ASTM requirements.

The floating roof is the top cover floating on the liquid level, so the sealing performance of API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks API 650 oil storage tank is very important. The floating plate mainly adopts elastic packing, and at the same time, it is compressed with the wall of API 650 oil storage tank with pressure strip around, and fixed with the floating plate with bolts. After the API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks floating plate is lowered to a certain position of about 1.8m, a prop will support the floating plate to keep it in position.

In the year of 2015, customer from Peru oil refinery contact with us from Internet. After one month’s negotiation and quotation, they chose us as there supplier of raw steel plate API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks grade ASTM A36. We get an trail order of 300 tons in April. When the first ship arrived, they inspect the steel plate and very happy with the quality we supply. Then they put another 1700 tons order, we sent to them within 90 days. Our company management group visit the customer in the beginning of 2016 and the visit is very successful.

According to the structure type of floating roof, floating roof API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks can be divided into internal floating roof tank and external floating roof storage tank. The internal floating roof tank is a floating roof tank with tank roof. The top is the combination of dome roof and floating roof, the external is dome roof, and the internal is floating roof. There is no vault on the top of the External floating roof tank, only a top plate floating with the storage liquid. The common feature of the inner floating roof tank and the outer floating roof tank is that both of them can reduce the evaporation loss of the storage liquid.

After-sales service team is a key department to test the steel quality. Product quality is always the foundation of our survival and development. The company's full inspection from raw materials to finished products; and implements standardized, scientific, and strict internal quality control and management systems in accordance with the process flow during the production process; products can only leave the factory if qualified, and follow-up problem solving systems are implemented in after-sales services to guarantee the customers’ interest.
