API Std 650 larger diameter tanks workmanship
Our company's technical department is the core department of the whole company. There are a group of very professional technical personnel. They provide some architectural drawings according to the ideas of customers, and they are responsible for how to select the right materials. Including the evaluation of steel products such as multi steel plate, API Std 650 larger diameter tanks and steel pipe, grasp the whole production process, and strictly follow the production standards and customer quality requirements.Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Butt-weldsComplete penetration and complete fusion is required (to the degree mandated by the acceptance criteria for examination method utilized) for welds joining tank wall plates to API Std 650 larger diameter tanks tank wall plates. Examination for quality of welds shall be made using either the radiographic method specified in API 620 standard 7.15.1 and applied in 7.17, or alternatively, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer, using the ultrasonic method specified in 7.15.3.1. In addition to the radiographic or ultrasonic examination, these welds shall also be visually examined as specified in 7.15.5. Furthermore, the Purchaser’s inspector may visually inspect all butt-welds for cracks, arc strikes, excessive undercuts, surface porosity, incomplete fusion, and other defects.API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI."Adhere to green development, implement basic national policies to conserve resources and protect the environment, and take the goal of creating a resource-saving and environment-friendly iron and steel joint enterprise to promote the construction of ecological civilization.Strengthen the construction of core talents, further release the talents' innovative wisdom and innovation potential, and promote the efficient and high-quality development of enterprises. Adhere to the people-oriented principle, persist in relying on employees for development, share development results with employees, and build a harmonious enterprise."Deformation of the welding seam of the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API Std 650 larger diameter 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 Std 650 larger diameter 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.
