Materials used in the construction of API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks

This standard applies only to API 650 tank API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.

Low-pressure Storage Tanks Fireproofing
Although general fire prevention and fire protection measures are expected to be fully covered by other safety codes, tanks API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks constructed according to these rules, which may be subject to fire exposure resulting from any cause, shall have their supports suitably fireproofed.
Special consideration shall be given to provisions for ample drainage facilities for accidental spills or leakage of flammable contents from such tanks or adjacent piping and other equipment if the contents may become ignited.
Subject to special considerations in isolated locations, tanks in which flammable liquid products are stored at temperatures well above their average boiling point shall be suitably fireproofed or otherwise protected.

Under the condition of static storage without receiving and sending operation, the temperature of gas space, evaporation rate, depth and pressure of vapor in the API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks will change with the change of temperature and pressure in a day. The oil loss caused by the process of discharging oil vapor and inhaling air gas is called "small breathing" loss, which is also called static storage loss of oil tanks.

The company always insists on quality first. "Tolerance and trust, change and innovation, abide by rules, and focus on refining people" are the eternal credo of the team. Encouraged by the same creed and belief, BEBON people continue to grow and mature, and the team size is increasing expand. In the future, look beyond Chinese private steel companies to see BEBON. Looking to the future, we are not blindly pursuing bigger scale, but we are pursuing strength and brand strength.

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks steel transportation industry.

When providing technical services on site, the after-sales personnel shall strictly abide by the safety rules and regulations of the construction site, consciously take safety protection measures (such as wearing safety helmet when entering the construction site), accept the supervision and management of the site; without permission on the construction site, they shall not dismantle, smear or damage any goods; the commissioning of contract goods shall be carried out under the supervision of the site supervisor If necessary, it shall be approved by the site supervisor or the person in charge of the project department.
