Facing the future, adhere to independent innovation.

The lip seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks relies on the sliding contact between elastic lip and tank wall. This kind of seal has strong applicability, but the requirements of manufacturing technology and material selection are high, and the determination of elastic seal also exists. The secondary seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks is to add a seal on the basis of primary seal. It is proved by experiments that the secondary seal can reduce the liquid consumption by more than 50%, and has a more significant effect in safety.

Except as permitted by API standard 620 Q.8.6, the test shall be conducted after the entire tank is complete, before the insulation is applied. Except as limited by foundation or stress conditions, the test shall consist of filling the tank with water to the design liquid level and applying an overload air pressure of 1.25 times the pressure for which the vapor space is designed. The load on the supporting foundation shall preferably not exceed the established allowable bearing value for the tank site. Where a thorough evaluation of the foundation justifies a temporary increase, the established allowable bearing may be increased for the test condition, but the increase shall be not more than 25%.
