A516 Gr 415 plates API 650 SUG I tanks

This standard applies only to API 650 tank API 650 SUG I tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.

During the use of API 650 SUG I tanks, the tank material is prone to crack and leakage under the action of pressure, corrosion, wear and other conditions. Especially in the oil producing area, the temperature difference in four seasons is large and the natural environment is bad, which will accelerate the consumption of oil storage tank and cause many potential safety hazards. Therefore, the API 650 SUG I tanks must undergo strict inspections before being put into use after the production and installation are completed, so as to avoid cracks and leakage in short-term use and affect production safety.

API Standard 620 tank Appendix C describes the factors involved in obtaining adequate foundations for tanks that operate at atmospheric temperature. The foundations for refrigerated tanks are complicated because of the thermal movement of the tank, the insulation required for the bottom, the effects of foundation freezing and possible frost heaving, and the anchorage required to resist uplift. The services of a qualified foundation engineer are essential. Experience with tanks in the area may provide sufficient data, but normally a thorough investigation, including soil tests, would be required for proper design of the foundation.

Our quality control department will do inspection for details of the steel materials API 650 SUG I tanks before delivery. We would invite the customer side to attend the inspection together. If they can not come, we will also take rich pictures for them to check. Meanwhile, we will publish inspection report and send them the PDF version. Besides, we accept any third party inspection such as SGS, BV, etc. And our quality control department will support the third party to inspect the steel materials smoothly and try our best to deliver the qualified steel materials to customers earlier.
