API Std 650 liquid storage tanks testing requirements

API 650 storage tank, double-layer oil tank environmental protection advantages: ordinary single-layer steel API Std 650 liquid storage tanks oil tank is corroded by underground water and gas and electrolytic corrosion because it is buried underground all year round. The API 650 tank has a double-layer structure with a gap of 0.1 mm. The API Std 650 liquid storage tanks outer layer of FRP ensures that the leakage will not directly leak into the soil and water source.

The most popular standards for API Std 650 liquid storage tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API Std 650 liquid storage tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API Std 650 liquid storage tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

Charpy V-notch specimens shall be taken from the weld metal and from the heat-affected zone of the welding procedure qualification test plates or from duplicate test plates.
Weld metal impact specimens shall be taken across the weld with the notch in the API 620 oil tank material weld metal. The specimen shall be oriented so that the notch is normal to the surface of the material. One face of the specimen shall be substantially parallel to and within 1/16 in. of the surface.

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 addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API Std 650 liquid storage tanks goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.
