large oil storage tank groove weld

Corrosion of the large oil storage tank body caused by external conditions such as high temperature, rain, humidity, or inadequate anti-corrosion measures of the oil storage tank itself, the water-bearing deposits in the oil storage tank caused corrosion and perforation of the inner surface of the oil storage tank bottom plate. Defects fatigue cracks caused by stress, with the accumulation of time, the compressive strength of the large oil storage tank body decreases and corrosion cracks occur.

Bearing on Foundations
Foundations shall preferably be designed to resist the load exerted by the API Standard 620 tank and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the design liquid level. Foundations shall be designed at least for the maximum operating conditions including the wind load. During the large oil storage tank water test, the total load on the foundation shall not exceed 125% of the allowable loading. If necessary, the water level during the test may be reduced below the design liquid level line so as not to exceed the 25% maximum overload (see Q.8.1.2).

Under the action of the earthquake, API 650 storage tank is mainly damaged by the phenomenon of the lower part of the large oil storage tank tank wall. Therefore, the key point of seismic calculation is to prevent the tank wall from buckling under axial pressure.

In December of 2015, our regular India customer sent us an inquiry for large 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.
