API 650 carbon steel storage tanks methods of examining joints

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantages of high safety: the API 650 carbon steel storage tanksinner floating plate floats on the liquid surface, so that the liquid phase has no evaporation space, which can reduce the evaporation loss by 85% to 90%. At the same time, the API 650 petroleum storage tank blocks the air and liquid storage through the floating disk, which reduces air pollution and reduces the degree of fire risk.

The API 650 carbon steel storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.

Integrity, cooperation and innovation, positive and competitive, healthy and abundant are the company's core values. The company API 650 carbon steel storage tanks always adhere to the "people-oriented", pay attention to improve the production skills and cultural quality of employees, by cultivating employees to carry forward excellent cultural traditions, set up the correct values, ethics and codes of conduct to improve employees' loyalty and work enthusiasm.

Our company's logistics breaks through the perspective that the center of transportation service is ability, and emphasizes that the purpose of transportation service is customer first. Customer demand determines the content and mode of transportation service, while production is often small batch, diversified and consumer demand tends to be diversified. In the case of personalization, our logistics service also provides personalized service projects.

We should help solve the customer's problems in time, not just verbally, without solving the problems or shirking the responsibility. Improving after-sales efficiency can make customers feel respect. We should take their problems seriously and show sincerity. It can also give customers a good impression and reduce the negative impact.
