API650, API620, API12d new design technologies for large storage tanks, oil tanks and water tanks:

Most regions and countries in Europe, the United States and the world adopt the American standard API650, API620, API12d and other standards to design, build and install oil tanks and tanks, which belong to the API standard series. API is the American Petroleum Institute. API was founded in 1919. It is the first state-level commercial association in the United States. It is one of the earliest and most successful chambers of commerce in the world to formulate standards. It is an important task of API, It is responsible for the standardization of equipment used in the oil and gas industry to ensure the safety, reliability and interchangeability of equipment used in the industry. The formulation of coordination standards is one of the earliest and most successful projects of API. API standards mainly specify equipment performance, sometimes including design and process specifications. The formulation of standards includes oil production, oil refining, measurement, transportation, sales, safety and fire protection, environmental regulations, etc., and its information technology standards include oil and gas industry, communication and information technology applications.

The application of API650 is as described by the American Petroleum Institute: the fabrication and installation of our ground welded steel tanks are generally used in industry; Generally, the tanks installed on the industrial site in the United States are welded steel tanks designed, manufactured and installed on the ground according to API 650, API620 and API12d standards, and are classified according to the API standard system. The three API standards all adopt the on-site fabrication and installation of tanks. The following is an overview of the design and construction of tanks according to the American standards:

1. API650 Tanks tank construction standard:
API 650 is the most widely used standard for the construction and procurement of storage tanks in the world, which is translated as "API 650 Steel Welded Oil Storage Tank" in Chinese. API 650 storage tanks are used for common oil products, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. Tanks built according to these standards are located in refineries, wharves, pipelines and production facilities in the United States. The detailed standard API 650 specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of storage tanks.

2. API620 Tanks tank construction standard:
The Chinese translation name of API620 design standard is "API620 Design and Construction of Large Low Pressure Storage Tank", which is the specification for the design and construction of large welded steel and low pressure storage tank. API 620 tank operates at 250 ° F or less than 2 pounds ⁄ ½ stay ² Less than 15 pounds ⁄ in ² .

3. API12d Tanks tank construction standard:
The Chinese translation name of API12d design standard is "API12d Oilfield Field Welded Storage Tank", which is used for the field welding specification of production liquid or oil storage tank, and is one of the three most famous standards. This standard is for on-site installation of tanks, API12d predetermined tank size and storage capacity, as well as accessories and test requirements. By creating a fixed size and required API12d, the need for further engineering has been eliminated and the cost of storage tanks has been effectively reduced.

4. API650 application promotion:
Wuhan Zhongheng Petrochemical Environmental Protection Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the design, construction and installation of foreign API650 standard tanks for a long time. It has the international qualification of ASME welding technology, the design ability of API650 oil tanks and API650 tanks, the design and manufacture license of pressure vessels, the GC pressure pipeline installation license, the petrochemical general contracting qualification, the safety production license, and the international trade import and export certificate, The design and construction performance of API650 storage tank has spread all over the world, including the storage tank farm of Haila Power Plant in East Timor, the storage tank farm of Comodo Power Plant in East Timor, and the storage tank farm of Southern Power Plant in East Timor; Ecuador oil tank and water tank in South America, Venezuela large heavy oil tank farm (the maximum volume of a single tank is 30000 cubic meters); Overall construction and design of oil storage tank, demineralized water tank and water tank of Middle East Türkiye Power Plant Phase I and II; Design and construction of the Amini Power Station in Niger, Africa; Cameroon, Rwanda, Angola, South Bengal, Papua New Guinea and other refined oil tanks are exported to many countries around the world.
