API Std 650 carbon steel tank hydrostatic testing requirements

Design calculations and drawings required API Std 650 carbon steel tank for the fabrication and erection of each API 650 tank. A drawing index for each API 650 tank is required and shall be re-submitted each time drawings are revised and re-issued.

Our company's logistics breaks through the perspective that the center of transportation service is ability, and emphasizes that the purpose of transportation service is customer first. Customer demand determines the content and mode of transportation service, while production is often small batch, diversified and consumer demand tends to be diversified. In the case of personalization, our logistics service also provides personalized service projects.

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.

Before delivering our hot rolled plate product we apply various tests to check the quality of carbon steel API Std 650 carbon steel tank plates such as- mechanical test, chemical test, hardness test, toughness test, eddy current test, impact test, micro test, flaring test, flattening test, etc. We are provided best packing for structural steel plates to avoid rust. Our after-sales service team will contact you if you have any question.
