The maximum capacity of API 650 uplifting tanks

One of the most widely used design codes is the API 650 Standard, from the American Petroleum Institute. The main objective of this standards API 650 uplifting tanks is, through the requirements contained in its various sections, to facilitate the purchase and construction of vertical, aboveground, welded fabricated tanks assuring that required safety regulations are met.

Ultrasonic Examination of Butt-welds in Plates
Butt-welds in all tank wall courses subjected to a maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, greater than 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of the API 650 uplifting tanks plate material shall be completely examined.
Butt-welds in API 620 oil tank wall courses subjected to maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, less than or equal to 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of plate material shall be spot examined in accordance with Figure Q-2.

Compared with other fast-moving consumer goods, steel consumption is obviously different, with a wide range of use and a long service life. Therefore, the quality and service of steel materials are particularly important. Service is always one of our top concerns, especially after-sales service. We have mature after-sales service team, and can help you solve problems professionally during application of the steel materials.
