API Std 650 self-anchored tank hose systems
This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API Std 650 self-anchored tank design, supply fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached datasheets and/or drawings.
The foundation design of the API Std 650 self-anchored tank should meet the requirements of foundation stability and deformation, that is, the API Std 650 self-anchored tank foundation should not be crushed and the uneven settlement value of the foundation should be within the allowable range. The uneven settlement of the storage tank foundation should be specified in the design process of the safe allowable range, because excessive uneven settlement will reduce the safety of the API Std 650 self-anchored tank and cause distortion and deformation of the tank wall and bottom plate.
Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API Std 650 self-anchored tank parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.
Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.
BBN company has implemented a resource strategy combining global resource procurement, domestic resource unified purchase, and joint purchase and distribution. It has maintained good relations of cooperation with more than 100 domestic and foreign steel mills, and can purchase low-quality and high-quality steel futures in all directions and through multiple channels. The company can grasp the specifications and quantities of the spot resources of major steel mills in real time, and can timely and quickly meet customer demand for steel spot resources.
