API 650 tanks for small internal pressures

API 650 petroleum storage tanks use lightning protection, anti-static, and fire protection measures. The internal corrosion protection should be determined according to the API 650 tanks storage medium, and the outer wall corrosion protection should be determined according to the soil quality of the buried tank.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API 650 tanks. The common API 650 tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

Low-pressure Storage Tanks Fireproofing
Although general fire prevention and fire protection measures are expected to be fully covered by other safety codes, tanks API 650 tanks constructed according to these rules, which may be subject to fire exposure resulting from any cause, shall have their supports suitably fireproofed.
Special consideration shall be given to provisions for ample drainage facilities for accidental spills or leakage of flammable contents from such tanks or adjacent piping and other equipment if the contents may become ignited.
Subject to special considerations in isolated locations, tanks in which flammable liquid products are stored at temperatures well above their average boiling point shall be suitably fireproofed or otherwise protected.

Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API 650 tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.

With the continuous development of foreign business, our company has achieved pleasant cooperation with a number of freight companies, including international air transport (including international express) and sea bulk cargo, we can provide the best service. In order to better develop the air transport from mainland to foreign countries, so that the goods can be transferred in Hong Kong in a timely manner.
