The foundations for API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

storage tank Annular Bottom Plates
Thickness shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) plus corrosion allowance unless a thickness increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Annular plate width shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) unless a width increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Thickness used for determination of API 650 welded storage tank standard, Appendix E width shall be based on the thickness required for seismic product hold down.

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

On March 17 th 2018, our Sudan customer purchased the SG295 cylinder steel coils through other country such as UAE,Turkey before they cooperate with us. After they research our regular customer in Uganda, UAE, and his friends in China, he is satisfied with our company. Our produced SG295 cylinder steel is mainly used to fabricate low temperature pressure vessels like gas cylinder. The customer is very satisfied to our API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks quality control and professional arrangement for the SG295 steel order.

Welding inspection of bottom plate of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks, vertical oil tank: During the fabrication and installation of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks, the bottom edge plate is welded first. According to the requirements of the technical standard, penetrant inspection is required for the weld of edge plate at the bottom of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks, that is, penetrant testing is required for each weld bead priming, filling and capping. In the process of testing, if any defect is found, it shall be repaired immediately. After the repair, the surface coloring penetrant test shall be conducted again until the test result is qualified.

Due to other non-steel quality reasons caused by the customer dissatisfaction, to timely explain to the customer, and help them solve the problem, for the customer really because of their own reasons, to give patient reply.The process of objection handling is the process of our technical service.
