Design of API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks

Our team is a dynamic, but also mature and steady team. The talents are made of different ages. There are experienced ones, and also creative ones, that also makes our company culture diversified. We have complete department structure, to make the whole work procedure run smoothly. For every step, we have special person to be in charge and responsible for our customer and update information to the customer in time. So you just need not worry too much to purchase steel materials from our company.The API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees F. It requires that you have a minimum material thickness of 3/16 inch.On November 1st, our company organized some of company staff to visit Zhengzhou Children Welfare Institute, and gave children cookies and toys, as well as concerns to the Children. With the development of the society, disabled children gets increasing concerns and help from all walks of life. Fortunately, Chinese Government gives high concern to the handicapped children and has built Children Welfare Institutes all over the country to guarantee their lives.Strictly controlling the temperature in the API 650 flexible liquid 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 650 flexible liquid 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 650 flexible liquid storage tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.
