Seismic design of API Std 650 mixed material 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 Std 650 mixed material tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.

We have new significant API Std 650 mixed material tanks projects in Nigeria. It is about crude oil storage tanks. With the development of our steel materials business in the Africa those years, Nigeria has been an important market to us. And we have many API Std 650 mixed material tanks famous projects in local and also participated in a lot of governmental projects. This crude oil storage tanks project is a very big engineering, and lasts for years. This is the only initial stage. We are under negotiation about following installation and further demands etc. matters.

The API Std 650 mixed material tanks company has established the corporate values of being proud of innovation and winning, and successfully realized the management of corporate culture. In BBN, leaders are not controllers and supervisors, but earnest API Std 650 mixed material tanks teachers, coaches and enthusiastic friends, so that employees can have more democracy, more autonomy, independence and creativity, and the belief of winning.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.
