API Std 650 uplifting tanks erection requirements

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The preparatory work before the construction of the API Std 650 uplifting tanks is an important part of the oil tank project. Material purchase preparation before the construction of the API Std 650 uplifting tanks:
Before API Std 650 uplifting tanks construction, all materials shall be purchased and prepared, and the specifications and quality of materials shall be inspected to see if they meet the construction operation requirements. Fire and rain proof measures should be taken when storing materials. Paint should be stored in a ventilated and dry place.

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 uplifting tanks 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.
