Mechanical loads on API Std 650 welded storage tanks

Due to the volatility of oil products, the volatile consumption of oil products is inevitable in the storage process of large oil storage tanks such as API Std 650 welded storage tanks. The volatilization of oil causes economic losses and pollution to the environment. Especially in the open air environment, large-scale oil storage tanks in the petrochemical industry will continue to accumulate energy when exposed to the sun, causing their surface and interior to heat up rapidly, causing sun overheating, and accelerating the volatilization of oil. How to effectively reduce the volatile consumption of large oil storage tanks?

As one of the large professional metallurgical manufacturers in China, the strength of the brand, quality assurance, professional after-sales. Every day we are making unremitting efforts to challenge higher quality API Std 650 welded storage tanks products and more satisfactory services. Customer demand is our pursuit, and win customer satisfaction with quality. BBN after-sales team is responsible to solve the problem of technical support and quality, service complaints.

For the team, cooperation is the core idea of daily work, and the core of common cooperation is resource sharing. With a perfect resource sharing mechanism, the whole team can be called a unity spirit.A good team lies in the ability to transfer resources, knowledge and information in time among team members in order to achieve the common goals of the team. So that we can share experiences and lessons."

Standard Hydrostatic and Pneumatic TestsAfter erection is completed and stress relieving, radiographic examinations, or other similar operations, as may be required, are performed, each tank shall satisfactorily pass a series of hydrostatic and pneumatic tests as prescribed in 7.18.2 through 7.18.6. Whenever a solution film is specified in this section to be applied to welding, linseed oil or another equivalent material for disclosing air leakage may be substituted. In freezing weather, linseed oil or a similarly suitable material shall be used.The attachment welding around all openings and their reinforcements in the walls of the API 620 tank shall be examined by the magnetic-particle method both inside and outside the tank API Std 650 welded storage tanks. When the underside of a tank bottom rests directly on the tank grade (and is not accessible after erection), such examination of welding on the underside of the bottom and subsequent air testing may be omitted.
