API 650 SUG I tanks examiner

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API 650 SUG I tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API 650 SUG I tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.

Preheat Treatment
Many laboratory tests have shown preheat treatment of carbon steel to 300°F-400°F to be the equivalent of the post-heat treatment at no less than 1100°F insofar as the physical properties of the weldment are concerned.40,41 Some tests have indicated a slight advantage of the post-heat treatment. Most of the tests have been made on plates 3/4 in. - 1 in. thick; results must be viewed with caution if preheating is applied appreciably beyond this thickness range. However, for all practical purposes, improvement resulting from preheating is sufficiently well established so that preheat should be considered for field fabrication of API 620 crude oil tank plates over 3/4-in. thick whenever toughness of the tank API 650 SUG I tanks is highly desired and the thermal post-heat treatment is impractical.

Prefabricating API 650 SUG I tanks components before construction can improve construction efficiency, save time and cost, and is currently a common method for the construction of large vertical storage tanks. The main prefabricated components of a large vertical API 650 SUG I tanks include the tank body, the storage tank wall, the top of the storage tank, the bottom of the storage tank, and the accessories of the storage tank. The prefabrication of the components should follow a reasonable workflow, and carry out appropriate heat treatment and testing, so as to improve manufacturing accuracy.

We have a stable system and professional human resource management work as the support, from the six aspects of guidance, cohesion, incentive, constraint, radiation and stability, we continue to introduce, modify and train employees from concept to action, and shape employees through constant guidance of common values.

In view of the characteristics of container transportation, such as high added value, low cargo damage and short time, our company takes more consideration of port collection and distribution conditions, port facilities, flight density and route coverage when choosing ports. For the convenience of customers, as well as the safety of goods.

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API 650 SUG I tanks plates such as- mechanical test, chemical test, hardness test, toughness test, eddy current test, impact test, micro test, flaring test, flattening test, etc. We are provided best packing for structural steel plates to avoid rust. Our after-sales service team will contact you if you have any question.
