Steel plate for roofs of API Std 650 horizontal tank

Prefabricating API Std 650 horizontal tank components before construction can improve construction efficiency, save time and cost, and is currently a common method for the construction of large vertical storage tanks. The main prefabricated components of a large vertical API Std 650 horizontal tank include the tank body, the storage tank wall, the top of the storage tank, the bottom of the storage tank, and the accessories of the storage tank. The prefabrication of the components should follow a reasonable workflow, and carry out appropriate heat treatment and testing, so as to improve manufacturing accuracy.

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.
