Erection requirements for API 650 cylindrical tanks
API 650 external floating roof storage tanks are generally called external floating roof API 650 cylindrical 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 cylindrical tanks storage tanks for storing volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.
Sand blasting and derusting of API 650 cylindrical tanks uses compressed air as power and SiC, pomegranate sand and quartz sand as spraying materials to form high-speed jet beam, which is used to remove rust and dirt on the surface of metal storage tank and improve the binding force of workpiece with coating and plating material. Sand blasting is often used in API 650 cylindrical tanks construction.
The ring of API 650 cylindrical tanks annular plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but 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 API Standard 620 R.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by welds as required by API Standard 620 5.9.5 except when a full penetration weld is used or required.
When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API 650 cylindrical tanks. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.
With the development of multimodal transport in the international shipping market and the increase of the complexity of the integrated transport chain, modern ports, as the intersection of the three transportation modes of sea, land and air, are developing from traditional transfer and product distribution functions to all-round value-added services, becoming the central link connecting the world's production, exchange, distribution and consumption, and supporting the world economy and international trade An important part of the developed international circulation system.
