API standard 650 mixed material tanks vertical seismic effects

Before pressure test, the main drain hose system of API 650 petroleum storage tank floating roof should be thoroughly flushed. Provide blind flanges, gaskets and bolts required for the API standard 650 mixed material tanks test (other types of covers are also required if necessary). Covers for maintenance shall be provided in accordance with the interfaces specified by API 650 petroleum storage tanks, and these seals shall remain in place after the test; and for those interfaces that are not provided for maintenance covers, the covers can be removed after the API standard 650 mixed material tanks test.

When welding API standard 650 mixed material tanks, in order to avoid weld deformation, it is necessary to use corresponding welding process according to the type of steel used in the tank, such as welding requirements of steel plate, welding position, etc. Reasonable arrangement of the assembly sequence, the use of subsection back welding and jump welding method, strict control of welding process parameters, rigid fixation measures, take corrective measures for deformation compensation are necessary.

Determination of Required Capacity
The aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:
a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API standard 650 mixed material tanks given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).
b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.

The company has five major departments: steel plate production department (including quality inspection team), sales department, market development department, after-sales and logistics department, and finance department. The backbone of steel business from all over the country, with the chairman as the core, integrates self-confidence, independence, passion and responsibility, and strives for excellence! All people share the same belief: "Being a refined steel product line rewards customers, strengthen the steel industry, and realize the corporate dream!

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.
