The foundations for API standard 650 storage tank

The coating on the outer wall of API standard 650 storage tank can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API standard 650 storage tank with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.

In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 storage tank storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

The company uses online training system to let all employees use fragmented time to carry out targeted training anytime, anywhere, regardless of time and geographical restrictions. Through training to improve API standard 650 storage tank work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their own quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career and achieve results.

Our company has been established for 20 years and has accumulated rich experience in steel products. At the same time, it is often exported to Southeast Asia, Africa, South America and other countries. So you can rest assured that our API standard 650 storage tank products and our prices are very favorable. Because we have our own factory, there is no other cost, we can also carry out machining and so on.
