42m diameter API Std 650 welded steel storage tanks

The tank wall design of API 650 oil storage tank. Since there is no ventilation pipe directly connected with the outside on the top of the API Std 650 welded steel storage tanks tank, the ventilation between the inside and outside of API 650 oil storage tank is realized by the respiration valve. The constant pressure of the respiration valve is 0.3kPa, so the pressure on the top of the tank is 0.3kPa.

When welding API Std 650 welded steel storage tanks, in order to avoid weld deformation, it is necessary to use corresponding welding process according to the type of steel used in the tank, such as welding requirements of steel plate, welding position, etc. Reasonable arrangement of the assembly sequence, the use of subsection back welding and jump welding method, strict control of welding process parameters, rigid fixation measures, take corrective measures for deformation compensation are necessary.

API Std 650 welded steel storage tanks test procedure
The inner tank shall be opened to the atmosphere, and a sufficient amount of water shall be added to the inner tank to balance the upward pressure against the inner tank bottom produced by the pneumatic test of the outer tank; as an alternative, the pressure between the inner and outer tanks can be equalized. API Standard 620 Air pressure shall be applied to the space enclosed by the outer tank equal to at least the design gas pressure but not exceeding a pressure that would overstress either the inner or outer tank.

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.

Steel transportation because of the special material of API Std 650 welded steel 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.
