API 650 special tank shaping of shell plates

API 650 vertical tanks meet American Petroleum Industries (API) standards in design, material, fabrication, and testing of aboveground welded steel API 650 special tankstorage tanks for use in industrial applications.

During heavy rain, closely observe the change of the water level in the storage area of the API 650 special tank. If the water level rises to the dangerous range, drain the water immediately. There are more thunderstorms in heavy rain, and lightning protection devices should be installed in the API 650 special tank area to avoid lightning accidents. Observe the groundwater level of the API 650 special tank area at any time, clean and dredge the drainage ditch in time to ensure unobstructed drainage, and prevent the bottom of the API 650 special tank from leaking and rusting due to untimely drainage.

When the API 650 special tank top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API 650 special tank. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API 650 special tank goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.
