1100 aluminum tube API 650 closed top welded storage tanks

The standard API 650 covers the design and calculation of different parts of the API 650 closed top welded storage tanks fuel tank. This specification is based on the knowledge and experience of buyers, manufacturers and users of API 650 welded storage tanks of different sizes and capacities. It is worth noting that the code requirements are minimal; stricter standards can be adopted for specific applications.

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

API 650 closed top welded storage tanks Nondestructive testing is a technical means to detect the weld defects of large vertical tank and judge whether the weld is qualified by using the characteristics of sound, light, magnetism and electricity without damaging the tested object. Common nondestructive testing methods: ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), liquid penetrant testing (PT) and X-ray testing (RT).

The API 650 closed top welded storage tanks company has established the corporate values of being proud of innovation and winning, and successfully realized the management of corporate culture. In BBN, leaders are not controllers and supervisors, but earnest API 650 closed top welded storage tanks teachers, coaches and enthusiastic friends, so that employees can have more democracy, more autonomy, independence and creativity, and the belief of winning.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API 650 closed top welded storage tanks steel, is a metal with "iron" as the main basic element, small volume and large weight, and easy to oxidize and rust when contacting with air and rain water, so there are many precautions in the transportation of steel. There are 11 proverbs for steel transportation: "evenly placed, moisture-proof and rust proof". Our company chooses the logistics aspect to be very rigorous, takes the customer's request as the standard, guarantees the steel product quality.

The company is deeply supported and loved by customers with its unique business philosophy and business model. The company has always been adhering to the "credibility first, integrity-based, quality first" purpose, and sincerely serve new and old customers. Over the past twenty years, the company has won the trust of customers by relying on good service and good reputation.
