API Std 650 cylindrical tanks shell-plate

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API Std 650 cylindrical tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API Std 650 cylindrical tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

The ring of API Std 650 cylindrical tanks annular plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with API Standard 620 R.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by welds as required by API Standard 620 5.9.5 except when a full penetration weld is used or required.

Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API Std 650 cylindrical tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API Std 650 cylindrical tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.

Firmly establish the "people-oriented, safe development" concept, strictly follow the safety production policy of "safety first, prevention first, comprehensive management", strengthen and improve the management and supervision of safety production in an all-round way, and strive to improve the controllability of safety management And effectiveness, cultivate safety culture, improve long-term safety production mechanism, and build a harmonious BEBON.

We have transportation department and shipping department to coordinate logistics and delivery. Seamless connection between inland transportation and sea transportation ensures smooth delivery, saves transportation time and delivers goods in the first time. During the sea transportation, we will update the freight progress for customers on a regular basis, so as to facilitate the tracking of customers and make preparations for receiving goods leisurely and timely.

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API Std 650 cylindrical 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.
