How to limit evaporation of liquid contents from API 650 aluminum storage tanks
The interior of API 650 storage tanks to be internally lined or coated must have all edges rounded to a minimum of 3 mm radius. Internal welds must be completely seal welded, ground smooth, and free from API 650 aluminum storage tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.
The safety inspection of atmospheric storage tank, API 650 aluminum storage tanks is divided into external inspection, internal and external inspection and comprehensive inspection. External inspection shall be conducted at least once a year, internal and external inspection shall be conducted at least once every three years, and comprehensive inspection shall be conducted at least once every six years. The safety inspection of large atmospheric storage tanks, API 650 aluminum storage tanks requires special attention: the parts where the liquid level often fluctuates, the parts that are susceptible to corrosion, and the parts that are deformed and worn during use should be checked.
In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2. The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Every customer who has visit us and witness the steel materials before delievry will be impressed by our quality control departemnt. Even not come to inspect the steel materials before delievry, our quality control departemnt will also send inspection report to the customer. For each order, no matter its quantity and value, our quality control departemnt will make strict inspection before delivery, the inspection contents include apperance, tolerance, dimension, mark, special requirements of customers, etc. To guarantee our steel materials sent to the customer is qualified.
The mode of iron and API 650 aluminum storage tanks steel logistics transportation is mainly intercontinental ocean shipping and inland rail transportation. European ports have been very mature after years of development, such as Hamburg in Germany, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Antwerp in Belgium. Relying on the huge market of the European Union, these ports are positioned in the logistics distribution function of cargo distribution and large import and export, and play a great role in the transportation of API 650 aluminum storage tanks steel logistics.
