API 650 welded storage tanks maximum design pressure

The API 650 oil tank stiffener ring and backing strip, if used, are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of R.2.1. The API 650 welded storage tanks stiffener ring may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange. One rat hole with a minimum radius of 3/4 in. shall be provided at each longitudinal shell joint and ring juncture weld.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API 650 welded storage tanks storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

In December of 2015, our regular India customer sent us an inquiry for API 650 welded storage tanks pipe. The inquiry requires no negative tolerance in both pipes’ outer diameter and pipe wall. After two weeks’ discussion, he put the order of 275 tons to us. The pipes are finished within just one month. Our customer come to our factory to inspect the quality and tolerance, all the products are well meet his demand. The pipes are arriving to Nhava Sheva port, customer is very happy with our products and service during the process.

When the API 650 welded storage tanks is welded, the weldment should be fixed rigidly. After welding, when the weldment is cooled to normal temperature, the rigid fixation can be removed, which can effectively prevent angular deformation and wave deformation. Although some measures have been taken, the welding deformation of API 650 welded storage tanks is still unavoidable, so it is necessary to take corrective measures to compensate the deformation. Mechanical correction is to make the parts easy to deform in the welding process by mechanical or other rigid materials to produce simple deformation, so as to restore the state before welding.

The company focuses on two markets at home and abroad, and has a group of 56 experienced sales elites and professional and technical personnel. It can provide customers with drawing design, API 650 welded storage tanks deep processing services and installation solutions. 20 years of project experience has provided high-quality carbon steel, alloy steel products and high-quality after-sales service to customers in many countries around the world. The company has won widespread praise from customers.
