The highest design temperature of API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI.

In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks roof and sidewall.

The seal of floating roof API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks is a device used to reduce the evaporation loss of the storage liquid in the annular space between the tank wall and the outer ring plate of the floating roof. The common sealing forms include mechanical seal, elastic filling seal, lip seal and secondary seal. No matter what kind of seal, the seal must be combined with the floating roof effectively to reduce the evaporation loss of the liquid in the floating roof.

Corporate mission: to provide high quality steel products API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks and services to global customers.Strategic goal: to be the leading steel materials supplier in the world.Enterprise core values: people-oriented, customer first, quality oriented, comprehensive and open, continuous innovation.Customer first is to always put the satisfaction of customer needs first. The key point is "customer centered". We should consider what customers need us to do, what we have done for them, what else we can do for them.

As we all know, steel pipes occupy more space in the process of transportation. If there is no good way of packing, the transportation cost for steel pipes will be a big expense. In view of this characteristic, our company is ingenious and adopts the nest package method to solve this problem perfectly. The premise of the nest package is that the diameters of the steel pipes are different, and the small diameter pipe is inserted in the large diameter pipe. This not only saves the volume, but also saves the transportation cost. It also reduces the loading and unloading workload by half, saves precious time, and enables customers to receive goods earlier.

We are willing to cooperate sincerely with you with high-quality API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks products and sincere service to expand the market and create brilliant! We will work hard to create a first-class steel company and provide you with faster and more considerate after-sales services! Moreover, our shipbuilding steel plates have been certified by the nine countries' classification societies including DNV, ABC, GL, LR, BV, CCS, RINA, NK, and KR. The quality assurance system has passed ISO9001-2000 standard certification.
