How can a welder meet the demand for bulk oil storage tanks?

Due to the difficulty of finding and qualifying experienced welders to fabricate oil storage tanks, automated welding processes will be key to meeting the demand for bulk oil storage. Orbital welding processes can help manufacturers welding oil storage tanks meet the sudden demand and enhance producers’ storage capacity in the future.

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.

Can orbital welding improve oil tank Weld productivity?

There is a pressing need for storage for both types of oil, and orbital welding has a role to play in increasing weld productivity for tanks built to contain both types. In the welding of carbon steel oil tanks, automated orbital welding offers the following advantages:
