ASTM A131 structural shapes API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks
API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are generally called external floating roof API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks tanks, which means that the storage tanks are externally open tanks without a dome design, and are equipped with vertical floating roofs. API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are usually used for large More than 20,000 cubic meters of open steel API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks storage tanks for storing volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.
The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
The thickness of the API 650 flat-bottom steel 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.
In the final analysis, the market competition is the competition for customers. Whether selling products or services, the final customer satisfaction is the standard to test the success or failure of marketing work. The so-called after-sales service is to fully understand customers, study customer psychology, pay attention to after-sales details, improve work shortcomings, improve service quality, and Exchange customer brand loyalty through the whole process of quality service.
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 650 flat-bottom steel tanks 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.
