API Std 650 storage tanks flush-type shell connections

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.The working pressure of the low-pressure storage tank is greater than that of the atmospheric storage tank, but its pressure is less than 0.1MPa. API 650 petroleum storage tanks are classified according to their environment: Above-ground storage tank: refers to the bottom of the storage tank at the design elevation of API Std 650 storage tanks and above; the bottom of the tank is below the design elevation of +0.00 but not exceeding.In 2014, we offered 175 ton Cold rolled stainless steel plate to Thailand. The API Std 650 storage tanks products are from TISCO. Here is the MTC that we offered to customer. We have our own quality team. Our quality team will inspect every order before shipment for customer. Normally, we will test the chemical composition, thickness, width, and length. Here are some pictures for last inspection.Welding inspection of bottom plate of API Std 650 storage tanks, vertical oil tank: During the fabrication and installation of API Std 650 storage tanks, the bottom edge plate is welded first. According to the requirements of the technical standard, penetrant inspection is required for the weld of edge plate at the bottom of API Std 650 storage tanks, that is, penetrant testing is required for each weld bead priming, filling and capping. In the process of testing, if any defect is found, it shall be repaired immediately. After the repair, the surface coloring penetrant test shall be conducted again until the test result is qualified.The company specializes in heavy plate cutting, carbon steel pplate processing, carbon plate welding processing and sales of wide and thick steel API Std 650 storage tanks plates. It has high-quality CNC steel plate cutting and processing equipment, a professional technical personnel team, and supporting logistics distribution and after-sales service system. BBN company provides customers with solutions at low prices, high quality, and fast response service.
