API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks with open vents

The API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees F. It requires that you have a minimum material thickness of 3/16 inch.

A Uganda client purchased 2100 tons SG255 gas cylinder steel coils in 2018. It is the first company in Uganda to provide re-furbishing, re-certification and manufacturing of new lpg cylinders. They have regular demands for sg255 coils API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks every 3 months. Limited by inland location, we can only ship container to mombasa, and then transfer to kampala. OurJISG3116 SG255 steel product is grade for gas cylinder steel with the tensile strength of 400MPa and the yield strength of 255MPa.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks. The soil endurance in the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks construction area plays a decisive role in the basic cost of the tank. In areas with high soil resistance, not only the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced, but also the ratio of height to diameter of storage tank can be obtained. Therefore, the investment cost of the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage 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.
