Tanks under standards API


We manufacture storage tanks water for fire protection systems, to a storage capacity of 10.000.000 litres of water for sprinkler systems in tanks fire hydrants , factories, buildings, industries or companies.-

We offer a range of non-standardised approved tanks, as well as we also tanks which conform to NFPA or API standards.

Our fire protection tanks can be installed indoors or open. The same may be accessory, stairs, platforms, gangways and access ports.

Carry out the construction in work of tanks API 650.

API standards

foto11Famacon S.A. specializes in the design, manufacture and Assembly of storage tanks welded steel for use in industrial applications. Normally, our industrial field requires that built tanks, to be built under the standard API 650, API 620 or API12D.
API has created standards for design, manufacture and Assembly of welded steel for storage of petroleum storage tanks, fuels and solvents.

API 650 Tanks

The most common standard used is to API 650. API 650 they are commonly used for oil, gasoline, chemicals and produced water storage. These tanks are used in refineries, terminals, oil pipelines and production plants. The standard API 650 governs the design, processed, welding, inspections and installation of tanks built..

API 620 Tanks

API 620 It is a design standard that governs the design and construction of large welded steel tanks, low pressure storage tanks. API 620 storage tanks operate to 250 ° F or less, with a working pressure of more of 2 ½ lbf / in ² and less of 15 LBF / in mm² gauge.

API 12D, Specification for field tanks welded for storage of liquids, It is probably the least known of the three standards. Norma API 12D dimensions tank by default and determines storage capacities, along with accessories and testing requirements. Through the creation of fixed requirements and sizes, 12D API has eliminated the need for more engineering, by effectively reducing the cost of tanks.

More than 30 years of experience in the market guarantee the quality of our products.
