Ankara energy storage tank welding

Are storage tanks a welding challenge?

Storage tanks can present welding challenges. Learn how subarc welding solutions can optimize results in storage tank construction. To support global energy and manufacturing demands, the outlook for construction of bulk storage tanks and terminals remains positive.

What are the standards for welding oil storage tanks?

These three standards cover the welding of oil storage tanks exhaustively. The NACE MR0175 and MR0103 standards are only tangentially concerned with welding oil storage tanks—their primary concern is sulfide stress cracking in petroleum equipment in what is termed a sour environment.

Is TT welding a new welding technology for LNG storage tanks?

Therefore, TT welding is significantly advantageous and can replace SAW as a new welding technology for welding the girth of LNG storage tanks. C. Xie, L. Huang, and R. Wang et al., Research on Quantitative Risk Assessment of Fuel Leak of LNG-Fuelled Ship During Lock Transition Process [J], Reliab. Eng. Syst. Saf., 2022, 221, 106368.

Can orbital welding improve oil storage capacity?

Orbital welding processes can help manufacturers welding oil storage tanks meet the sudden demand and enhance producers’ storage capacity in the future. Although coronavirus lockdowns are coming to an end, extra storage capacity is likely to continue to be in high demand.

Can TT welding replace saw for girth-seam welding of LNG storage tanks?

TT welding with narrow-gap grooves reduces the required amount of filler metal by more than 50%. Therefore, the TT welding process is significantly advantageous and can replace SAW for girth–seam welding of LNG storage tanks.
