Construction requirements for API standard 650 open-top tanks

Floating roof is the key component of floating roof API 650 storage tank, which can be divided into external floating roof and internal API standard 650 open-top tanks floating roof. The internal floating roof has a fixed top cover above the floating roof, which can prevent the floating roof from being exposed to wind and rain, and ensure the quality of oil stored under API 650 storage tank.

Allowable compressive stresses shall be in accordance with 5.5.4 except that for aluminum alloy plate the allowable compressive stresses shall be reduced by the ratio of the modulus of compressive elasticity to 29,000 for values of (t – c)/R less than 0.0175 and by the ratio of the minimum yield strength for the aluminum alloy in question to 30,000 for values of (t – c)/R equal to or greater than 0.0175 (see 5.5.2 for definitions). In all other equations in this standard API standard 650 open-top tanks where yield strength or modulus of elasticity is used, such as Equations 27 and 28, similar corrections shall be made for aluminum alloys.

The main advantages of the external floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks are large storage capacity, suitable for storing more than 10000 cubic meters of crude oil. Compared with the internal floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks, the production of external floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks is simple and the steel consumption is less. However, the central drainage system of external floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks should be installed on the outer floating roof to ensure that the accumulated water can be discharged smoothly in rainy and snowy days, and avoid sinking accident.

Continue to refine and improve the company's common core values.Corporate values are the evaluation criteria for the production and operation behavior, products, services provided, social reputation and credit of enterprises, the biggest API standard 650 open-top tanks goal pursued by enterprises and the criteria for judging things accordingly, and the core of corporate culture. Companies in the extraction of common value note: simplicity; Unity of coordination; API standard 650 open-top tanks Systemic; Respect for talents; Focus on giving back to society; Try to make a factual argument in order to gain wider acceptance.

The main competitive means adopted by major domestic ports are to expand ports, build deep-water berths and channels, improve service quality to reduce the comprehensive cost of customers, and at the same time, to improve competitive advantage, we should also take appropriate measures to reduce relevant costs and prices.

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API standard 650 open-top 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.
