API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks foundations for leak detection

API 650 internal floating roof oil tank executive standard: domestic design standard: GB50341-2003 "Vertical cylindrical steel welded oil tank design code"; domestic construction standard: GB50128-2005 "vertical cylindrical steel welded oil tank" Construction and Acceptance Specification; API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks Foreign design standard: API650-2007 "Standard for Welded Steel Petroleum Storage Tanks."

Deformation of the welding seam of the API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.

API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.

In order to further transform the operation mechanism, establish the operation concept of "market-oriented, customer-centric", strive to improve our core competitiveness and promote the rapid development of business; further strengthen customer marketing management, subdivide customer groups, establish a top-down, crisscross, hierarchical marketing mechanism of "everyone is a marketer", and provide for the needs of different levels of customers Corresponding services.

Management information and high efficiency. Because of the rapid flow of API 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks goods, container multimodal transport and "door-to-door" transport, it is required that the port must have a modern information network, so that it can have the comprehensive capabilities of all-weather access, rapid loading and unloading, customs clearance, collection, distribution, storage and transportation
