Material requirements for API standard 650 aluminum tanks

The tank shall be filled with water to the design liquid level unless height is limited as noted in API 620 standard Q.8.1. After the tank is filled with water and before the pneumatic pressure is applied, anchorage, if provided, shall be tightened against the hold-down brackets. All welds in the API standard 650 aluminum tanks shell, including the corner weld between the shell and the bottom, shall be visually checked for tightness.The working pressure of the low-pressure storage tank is greater than that of the atmospheric storage tank, but its pressure is less than 0.1MPa. API 650 petroleum storage tanks are classified according to their environment: Above-ground storage tank: refers to the bottom of the storage tank at the design elevation of API standard 650 aluminum tanks and above; the bottom of the tank is below the design elevation of +0.00 but not exceeding.In November of 2015, Thailand one company contacted with us from Internet. They are find the trustable supplier of S355J2H seamless pipe API standard 650 aluminum tanks for there cable car supporter. Due to the special using of the pipes, they are very careful and servious when choosing the supplier. After one months contact and discussion by email, they come to our company. We drive to the pipe mill for visit of 2 days. Through this visit, they are very confident with our production ability and proucts quality. Finally, they accept the grade we suggest Q345D.

The construction materials and requirements of each basic structure of the storage tank are different. After the structure of the API standard 650 aluminum tanks 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.Compared with other fast-moving consumer goods, steel consumption is obviously different, with a wide range of use and a long service life. Therefore, the quality and service of steel materials are particularly important. Service is always one of our top concerns, especially after-sales service. We have mature after-sales service team, and can help you solve problems professionally during application of the steel materials.
