How to limit evaporation of liquid contents from API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks

The API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks external floating roof tank of API 650 tank has many advantages, and its application range is more and more wide. It is a kind of storage tank with a bright future. The well-designed internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is the best and least investment method to control evaporation loss of API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks Fixed roof tank.

Requirements for prefabrication of bottom plate of large vertical API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks:
1. The diameter of tank bottom should be enlarged by 0.1% ~ 0.15% according to the design diameter.
2. The minimum dimension of edge plate along the radius direction of tank bottom shall not be less than 700mm.
3. The distance between any adjacent welds of the base plate shall not be less than 300 mm.

API 620 Tank Standard Post-heat Treatment (Stress Relief)
The post-heat treatment now performed on pressure vessels is of established value, although the mechanism by which the improvement is realized may be open to debate. Post-heat treatment of API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks tank sections when the plate thickness exceeds 11/4 in. is required as stated in 5.25. In special cases, the possibilities of post-heat treatment after erection should be explored. Post-heating an insulated tank may be possible if an ample source of heat is readily available and if the rigidity of the tank is adequate.
The thermal stress-relief treatment performed on pressure vessels is recognized as a means for reducing the probability of brittle failures.

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!

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks steel transportation industry.
