API 650 flat-bottom tanks piping flexibility

API 650 storage tanks API 650 flat-bottom tanks are only suitable for containers that can evenly support the entire bottom and containers for non-refrigerated equipment with a design maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It API 650 flat-bottom tanks requires a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch. Other characteristics of the API 650 storage tank are: it is composed of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum.

The company has our own truck fleet, and can transfer products flexibly and quickly. At the same time, we have large warehouses near the ports of Tianjin and Shanghai, so as to ensure that we can deliver high-quality products to customers in the first time. At the same time, it also greatly reduces the transportation cost, and realizes the double harvest of time benefit and economic benefit. Time guarantee is one of the important strengths of our service.

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 650 flat-bottom 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.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API 650 flat-bottom tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API 650 flat-bottom tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API 650 flat-bottom tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.
