A573 Gr 65 plates API standard 650 fixed roof tanks

High temperature heat transfer oil fin tube heating device for large API standard 650 Fixed roof tanks has the advantage of reducing the leakage of heating coils. The heating medium of the large storage tank heating device is high-temperature heat-conducting oil. The boiling point of the heat-conducting oil is high, usually higher than 200°C. At high temperatures, the pressure on the heat-conducting oil circulation pipeline is very small, which greatly reduces the occurrence of heating coil leakage accidents. At the same time, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube is guaranteed.

The API standard 650 fixed roof tanks outer tank, which is not in contact with the vaporized liquefied gas, may be of single-welded lap or single-welded butt construction when the thickness does not exceed 3/8 in.; at any thickness, the API 620 oil tank outer tank may be of double- welded butt construction without necessarily having full fusion and penetration. Single-welded joints shall be welded from the outside to prevent corrosion and the entrance of moisture.

Storage tanks API standard 650 fixed roof tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.
