API standard 650 storage tanks weld metal

Oil, Gas, Chemical, Water, and Bio-Fuel storage. Maximum of the most common welded steel tanks used in industry are designed following API 650. Tanks typically found in Refinery API standard 650 storage tanks tank farms, Terminals, Pipelines, and other process facilities use these tanks.

In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.

Oil tank accessories are an important component of metal oil tanks. Common accessories of API standard 650 storage tanks include manholes, light holes, oil measuring holes, breathing valves, safety valves, and fire extinguishers. The functions of these accessories are different. Some are to ensure the storage quality of various oil products, some are to ensure the normal operation of oil products receiving and dispatching, and some are to ensure the safety management of API standard 650 storage tanks, etc.

As we all know, steel pipes occupy more space in the process of transportation. If there is no good way of packing, the transportation cost for steel pipes will be a big expense. In view of this characteristic, our company is ingenious and adopts the nest package method to solve this problem perfectly. The premise of the nest package is that the diameters of the steel pipes are different, and the small diameter pipe is inserted in the large diameter pipe. This not only saves the volume, but also saves the transportation cost. It also reduces the loading and unloading workload by half, saves precious time, and enables customers to receive goods earlier.

Our quality and service commitment: API standard 650 storage tanks product quality problems, life-long replacement.In the process of using, any time if you find we supplied steel materials not conform to the requirements of technical standards, we can replace it for you free of charge.
