ASTM A737 plates API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks

Above-ground API 650 storage tanks (vertical cylindrical flat-bottomed storage tanks) allow the storage of large volumes of goods at low cost. The only limitation is that they API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks can be used under atmospheric pressure or relatively small internal pressure. There are different specifications and standards for the design of API 650 storage tanks.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.

Impact Test Requirements for Oil Storage Tanks Primary Components
All API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks primary components of 9% or 5% nickel steel shall be impact tested in accordance with Q.2.2.2 through Q.2.2.4. Impact testing is not required for primary components of austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Welds in high-alloy (austenitic) stainless steel shall be impact tested if required by Q.6.3.
Impact testing of plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with the following:a)Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling. b)Charpy V-notch specimens shall be cooled to a temperature of –320°F for A353, A553, and A645 steels for impact testing.

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 self-anchored storage tanks and steel pipe, grasp the whole production process, and strictly follow the production standards and customer quality requirements.

With the continuous development of foreign business, our company has achieved pleasant cooperation with a number of freight companies, including international air transport (including international express) and sea bulk cargo, we can provide the best service. In order to better develop the air transport from mainland to foreign countries, so that the goods can be transferred in Hong Kong in a timely manner.
