API Std 650 carbon steel tank local shear transfer

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API Std 650 carbon steel tank tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API Std 650 carbon steel tank storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

Service Conditions and Hydrogen-induced Cracking
When the service conditions might include the presence of hydrogen sulfide or other conditions that may promote hydrogen-induced cracking effects, particularly near the bottom of the API Std 650 carbon steel tank shell at the shell-to-bottom connections, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials and details of construction of the tank are adequate to resist hydrogen- induced cracking. The Purchaser shall consider restricting the sulphur content of the material to be stored through thickness testing of the steel, laboratory surveillance tests, and the use of internal tank coatings to reduce the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking.

Before welding the API Std 650 carbon steel tank, the professional skills of the welding personnel shall be fully assessed to ensure that the operators meet the corresponding welding qualifications. According to the technical standards, scientific and feasible process requirements are actually formulated. In the process of welding the edge plate of API Std 650 carbon steel tank, electric welding is required on one side of the edge plate, so that the edge plate has a free shrinkage effect and greatly reduces the residual stress of the welding seam.

The company attaches great importance to the value of iron and steel, constantly improving itself in terms of attitude, innovation, human resources, etc., integrating the value of iron and steel into the company's philosophy, showing the spirit of fighting for API Std 650 carbon steel tank iron and steel, forging iron and steel enterprise, creating steel market, establishing iron and steel team, and attaching importance to the sustainable development of iron and steel industry, so as to make iron and steel our permanent cause.

The main competitive means adopted by major domestic ports are to expand ports, build deep-water berths and channels, improve service quality to reduce the comprehensive cost of customers, and at the same time, to improve competitive advantage, we should also take appropriate measures to reduce relevant costs and prices.

We have a professional after-sales service team, the company has developed a clear service process and service standards, after-sales service team members strictly perform after-sales procedures, comply with service standards. The most important thing is that we have set up the correct concept of after-sales service, "customer first, sincere service for users".
