Fabrication requirements for API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks

Prevent the storage liquid from impacting the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank or increase the internal pressure, reduce the corrosion of the tank top and the tank wall, and extend the service life of the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks storage tank.

Prefabrication requirements of API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks, large vertical storage tank wall panels:
1. The prefabrication of wall panel shall be processed in strict accordance with the requirements of the drawings, and inspection records shall be made.
2. After the wall panel is rolled, it should be placed on the platform for inspection with a template. In the vertical direction, use a straight-line template to check, the gap should not be greater than 2 mm, and in the horizontal direction, use an arc-shaped template to check, and the interval should not be greater than 4 mm.
3. When wall panels are rounded, attention should be paid to prevent irreversible plastic deformation caused by external forces. After rolling, it should be placed on the platform for inspection, and then placed on the prepared mold.

The 2019 Year of the Pig is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Growing up with the motherland, our company sang songs to the mark the 70th victory anniversary. In September, we organized all employees to sing "My Country and I" and made a film.

API 620 Steel Oil Tank Bottom and Shell Support
The tank API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks under-bottom insulation shall be designed to resist the combined pressures from the product load, the overturning seismic load and the vertical seismic load. These seismic pressures may be combined by SRSS.
The bearing ring under the shell shall be designed to resist the calculated OLE peak compressive force in the tank shell due to overturning (see API 650 oil tank, Section E.6.2.2), including dead and live loads. A 33 % increase in allowable bearing stress is permitted.
