API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank rod, bar, and structural shapes

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.

Welders participating in the construction of API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank must pass the examination and perform welding within the validity period of the qualified items. Special operators such as on-site maintenance electricians, cranes, and shelf workers must hold job certificates. All oil pipelines need to use arc welding for bottoming and electric welding to ensure the welding quality. Oil tanks and process pipelines must be tested for non-destructive flaws in accordance with the flaw detection ratios and methods required by the design and acceptance specifications. The flaw detectors must be certified.

Strengthen system construction. The system itself has a certain binding force, which specifies the rights and obligations of employees. It is a passive management means for employees. Its purpose is to promote each employee to develop good professional habits, form good behavior norms, and promote the improvement of enterprise management level.

Our company doesn't need the cheapest quotation to choose international logistics company, but the price performance ratio will be high, the service will be good, and the transportation must be safe and punctual, which will not affect the time when the API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank goods arrive at the destination, and the logistics situation will be well communicated with customers in advance. Therefore, when we choose international logistics companies, we will have a look at their timeliness and service attitude in advance. It is only important to transport goods according to the requirements of customers for logistics.

The company adopts one-to-one fast service and has formed a professional after-sales service team to deal with various problems reflected by customers as soon as possible. At the same time, a traceable product traceability system has been established. It has always been placed at an important core position to resolve customer worries. Our steel API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank products are always committed to “quality issues, life-long replacement”, which is the embodiment of our comprehensive service.
