Steel plate for roofs of API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks

API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are generally called external floating roof API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks tanks, which means that the storage tanks are externally open tanks without a dome design, and are equipped with vertical floating roofs. API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are usually used for large More than 20,000 cubic meters of open steel API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks storage tanks for storing volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.

The cone slope of the completed API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks should have at least 4 detection tubes.

Material for the outer tank API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks and for the roof that contains the vaporized liquefied gas but is primarily subjected to atmospheric temperatures may conform to one of the following:
a)Table 4-1 for design metal temperatures down to –35°F (lowest 1-day mean ambient temperature of–35°F) without impact test unless they are required by Table 4-1 or by the Purchaser.
b)Table R-3 for design metal temperatures down to –60°F without impact tests unless they are required by Table R-4 or by the Purchaser.

When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.

BBN Steel Company adheres to the marketing concept of "first-class technology, first-class steel quality, and first-class logistics services". It is our goal to build high-quality carbon steel API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks, alloy steel plates and high-strength structural steel plate international-class boutique bases. Our logistic team will make customs clearance documents, track products production process, and update shipping information for customers. Creating value for customers is our pursuit.
