API 650 cylindrical tanks with multiple roof sumps

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The cleanliness of the API 650 cylindrical tanks has a great influence on the safety of the tank and the quality of the oil stored. Keeping the API 650 cylindrical tanks clean can slow down the corrosion of the tank wall and reduce the pollution to the oil. If the inside of the API 650 cylindrical tanks is not cleaned all the year round, a lot of rust and metal impurities will be produced in the tank. These impurities will cause the oil to slowly oxidize and deteriorate. The impurities mixed into the oil will also block the filter and oil circuit, causing oil supply failure.

Above the water level, all API 650 cylindrical tanks welded joints, all welds around openings, and all piping joints against which the pneumatic pressure is acting shall be checked with a solution film. A visual inspection may be substituted for the solution-film inspection if the welded joint has previously been checked with a vacuum box. The solution-film inspection shall still be made, above the water level, on all welds around openings, all piping joints, and the compression ring welds, including the attachment to the roof and shell.
