API Std 650 aluminum tanks with free vents

Test welds of each API 650 tank nozzle and manway reinforcing pad (or each section of multiple piece pad) using dry air and apply a soap solution test in the presence of Purchaser's Inspector before hydro testing the API Std 650 aluminum tanks tank. Tap one inch NPT test hole in each pad or section.

The most popular standards for API Std 650 aluminum tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API Std 650 aluminum tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API Std 650 aluminum tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

Thickness as it Affects Preheat and Post-heat Requirements
Plate with thicknesses below 1/2 in. is reasonably notch tough. In most steels, when the API Std 650 aluminum tanks used plate thickness exceeds 3/4 in. – 1 in., notch toughness, particularly as welded, decreases sharply. The decrease in notch toughness can be minimized by the conventional post-heat treatment and, in many steels, by preheat treatment. The benefits of preheat treatment in steels 3/4 in. – 1 in. thick have been demonstrated; similar benefits could be expected in thicker steels, but sufficient experimental data are currently lacking.

The company adheres to the principle of integrity, standardization and efficiency, wins the market with technology, gains reputation with creative services, and wholeheartedly provides customers with high-quality API Std 650 aluminum tanks, efficient and fast services. Facing the future, adhere to independent innovation.

Japan is a typical shipping first, and its raw materials are imported from Oceania, central and South America and other Asian countries. Most of the API Std 650 aluminum tanks steel produced is exported to China and other Asian countries, and a small amount is exported to America. Shipping is the main way of its API Std 650 aluminum tanks steel international transportation. According to the data, steel goods account for about 20% of the total sea freight in Japan. The domestic transportation of Japanese steel is mainly truck.
