A516 Gr 415 plates API 650 flat-bottom tanks

Suggested Practice Regarding Installation of Low-pressure storage tanks
Access: All openings and accessories for tanks API 650 flat-bottom tanks constructed according to this standard shall be installed so that any periodic inspections required can be readily made.
Corrosion: When a tank bottom rests directly on the ground, a survey shall be made to establish the need for cathodic protection.
Drainage: All tanks in which water might accumulate under the hydrocarbon contents shall be provided with adequate drains that are suitably protected from freezing.

Tanks which are designed following rules and guidelines of API 650 are API 650 tanks. API 650 API 650 flat-bottom tanks is the governing code for Welded tanks for Oil storage normally operating in the atmospheric pressure range. The code API 650 provides guidelines for design, fabrication, material, erection, and inspection of welded vertical and cylindrical storage tanks. Such API 650 flat-bottom tanks Tanks must be above ground with a closed or open top.

BBN had provided API 650 flat-bottom tanks Hardox plates for more than 15 years for widely applied in coal mining machinery, cement equipment, road construction machinery, engineering machinery, dump trucks, metallurgical area and port fields. In 2016,we brought our customer to visit our API 650 flat-bottom tanks NM400 steel plate producing line and our Shanghai warehouse for 30000 tons plate and structure. As a result, Our client purchased 500 tons NM 400 as first order, which is shipped by 3 times. In future, BBN will always guarantee that all the delivery condition for Hardox plate provided will be with quenching and tempering, which is the best delivery type according GBT 24186 standard.

Ultrasonic testing can find the internal defects of API 650 flat-bottom tanks welding joint, this detection method is very accurate for the internal layer defects of oil tank, but ultrasonic detection is not suitable for the detection of thin-walled storage tank materials. Dye penetrant testing is only suitable for detecting the defects of the surface opening of API 650 flat-bottom tanks and so on metal oil tanks. The feature of this method is convenient and fast.

If customers have any difficult problems during use of the steel materials, they can contact the company's after-sales service department to feedback the existing problems. The after-sales department will reply as soon as possible to ensure that each customer has a good after-sales experience. Under special circumstances, the after-sales service department will start the problem-solving process, and the engineers in charge of the area will quickly follow up to solve the problem.
