Material requirements for API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks

Structural shapes of 9% and 5% nickel steel may be furnished to the chemical and physical requirements of ASTM A353, A553, or A645. Physical tests shall be in accordance with the requirements of ASTM A6.
API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks used Piping, Tubing, and Forgings
Material used for piping, tubing, and forgings shall be compatible in welding strength, and thermal expansion coefficient with the tank shell material. In addition to the specific requirements of this appendix, all piping within the limitations of 1.3.2 shall fulfill the minimum requirements of ASME B31.3.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

A Uganda client purchased 2100 tons SG255 gas cylinder steel coils in 2018. It is the first company in Uganda to provide re-furbishing, re-certification and manufacturing of new lpg cylinders. They have regular demands for sg255 coils API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks every 3 months. Limited by inland location, we can only ship container to mombasa, and then transfer to kampala. OurJISG3116 SG255 steel product is grade for gas cylinder steel with the tensile strength of 400MPa and the yield strength of 255MPa.

Under the condition of static storage without receiving and sending operation, the temperature of gas space, evaporation rate, depth and pressure of vapor in the API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks will change with the change of temperature and pressure in a day. The oil loss caused by the process of discharging oil vapor and inhaling air gas is called "small breathing" loss, which is also called static storage loss of oil tanks.

We should focus on the main problems to be solved and pay attention to efficiency. After receiving the user's quality objection report data, the possible causes, responsible units, compensation amount, etc. of the problem shall be judged based on experience. To have a clear service plan, to be clear about what your main problem is, what technical support is needed, these should be prepared.
