API Std 650 mixed material tanks foam dam
The thickness of the API Std 650 mixed material tanks annular bottom plates shall be in accordance with Table Q-4 (for steel or aluminum, as applicable). The thicknesses shown are minimums. The ring of annual plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but it may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with Q.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by a weld as required by API 620 oil tank 5.9.5 except when a full-penetration weld is used or required (see Q.7.1.1). Butt-welds in annular plates shall be not closer than 12 in. from any vertical weld.
API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API Std 650 mixed material tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API Std 650 mixed material tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.
In 2018, one of our India customers visit Zhengzhou office building and work shop to discuss carbon steel Q235B grind plate technical request. They have strict surface and thickness tolerance, and they also request UT and MT for testing for Q235B grind plate. As a result, they purchase 179 tons as trial order for first cooperation. After using the gind plate, the India customer has good comment on our API Std 650 mixed material tanks quality. Till now, we keep exporting around 100 tons per month as regularly.
}All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API Std 650 mixed material tanks, the consumption of API Std 650 mixed material tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API Std 650 mixed material tanks.
