Steel plate and pipe materials for API standard 650 open-top tanks

According to API standard 650, the stairs used for API 650 petroleum storage tanks or thermal insulation tanks should be double longitudinal beams supported by a minimum of ribs. If the gap between the API standard 650 open-top tanks tank shell and the stringer of the API 650 petroleum storage tank exceeds 200mm, handrails should be provided on both sides of the stairs. Unless otherwise specified, according to API standard 650 open-top tanks ASTM A123, the following accessories shall be hot-dip galvanized. The damaged zinc coating should be repaired with zinc alloy.

API standard 650 open-top tanks belongs to metal oil tank. Metal oil tank is a kind of vessel made by welding steel plate. The common shapes of metal tank are vertical metal tank, horizontal metal tank and spherical metal tank. The advantages of API standard 650 open-top tanks etc. metal oil tank are good sealing, not easy to leak, can be installed with heating and insulation function, metal tank can withstand high internal pressure, large vertical metal tank such as API standard 650 open-top tanks also has the characteristics of small floor space and large storage capacity.

The inner and outer tanks may be decoupled for seismic design of the tank and anchorage and assumed to act independently. However, if the inner and outer tanks API standard 650 open-top tanks are supported by a common foundation, the seismic foundation loading shall be calculated using the lesser response modification values for either the inner tank or outer tank for both tanks and a dynamic analysis shall be performed to determine the combined effect.
Allowable Stresses: For Appendix R tanks, design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large low pressure storage tank, Section R.3.3.

The company has a mature technical team whose reponsibility is to design the drawing, choose suitable material and evaluate the whole production processaccording to customers’ requirement. The company is led by talents and technology, and comprehensively promotes its six business segments like steel material supply, precision steel casting, environmental protection equipment, household appliance, API standard 650 open-top tanks steel structures and oil tank projects. Seeking new developments in new technology and business areas, and fostering a large number of industry-leading, international-level projects.

The company's logistics adopts the method of cooperation with logistics companies. As a third-party logistics company is engaged in the operation of multiple logistics projects, it can integrate various logistics resources, making the logistics operation cost relatively low and the logistics operations more efficient. Thus we can provide more professional logistics services, while also focusing on our core business of steel materials.
