Mechanical loads on API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks
This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks design, supply, fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached Datasheets and/or Drawings.
Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.
Static storage loss is also known as "small breathing" consumption. The rise and fall of the temperature in the API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks leads to the increase and decrease of the pressure in the tank, which makes the mixed oil gas discharged from the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption. Fluid level loss is also called "big breathing" loss. It is the oil consumption caused by the change of gas space volume in the API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks during the oil receiving and sending operation, which causes the mixed oil gas to be discharged out of the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption due to the change of liquid level height.
The company uses online training system to let all employees use fragmented time to carry out targeted training anytime, anywhere, regardless of time and geographical restrictions. Through training to improve API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their own quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career and achieve results.
After years of operation and accumulation, the company has formed an operation network covering major economic cities across the country, with a group of high-quality professional logistics technicians and management personnel, strong strength and stable logistics channels. The company's business operations include the loading and unloading of steel raw materials and finished materials, API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks warehousing, and freight transportation. Our logistics service business has passenger transportation, automobile and construction machinery inspection, logistics information management and operations.
After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication. After sales service personnel must do what they say in the process of communication with customers.
