API 650 fixed roof tanks welding procedure and welder qualifications

In API 650 oil storage tank, when the mixing ratio of combustible medium and air reaches a certain limit, it is easy to cause explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to add API 650 Fixed roof tanks external floating roof to open cylindrical steel API 650 fixed roof tanks tank. At present, the external floating roof is most suitable for large-scale API 650 oil storage tank in China, ranging from 20000, 30000, 50000 cubic meters to 100000 cubic meters.

The thickness of the API 650 fixed roof tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

Proper use of API 650 fixed roof tanks and precautions:
1. The API 650 fixed roof tanks must be used within the safe height range;
2. Check before use to ensure that the safety valve and breathing valve are flexible and easy to use;
3. The explosion-proof and fire-proof safety measures for oil tanks are implemented effectively;
4. The oil level in the API 650 fixed roof tanks should be accurately measured when receiving and delivering oil, so as to prevent overflow or empty;
5. In the process of receiving and sending oil, the flow rate of oil should be controlled, and it should not be too fast to avoid electrostatic accidents.

The company uses online training system to let all employees use fragmented time to carry out targeted training anytime, anywhere, regardless of time and geographical restrictions. Through training to improve API 650 fixed roof tanks work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their own quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career and achieve results.

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.

First of all, we should establish a correct concept of after-sales service. Service concept is an important part of corporate culture and a long-term enterprise value concept. Our company's after-sales service embodies the concept of "customer first, sincere service for customers". As long as we are in the "sincere service for users" under the guidance of the idea, I believe we will get rich returns.
