Middle East Petrochemical EPC Project
Project Overview
A petrochemical EPC project in the Middle East involved the construction of new raw material storage tanks and shell-and-tube heat exchanger systems for an oil refining supporting facility.
Due to the demanding requirements of petrochemical equipment manufacturing, the project owner specified ASME standards for pressure equipment materials and required strict quality control throughout the supply process.
The material package included SA516 Gr70 pressure vessel steel plates, 316L stainless steel plates, stainless steel seamless tubes, and P355GH flat steel, supporting equipment fabrication, welding, and prefabrication processes.
Project Requirements
For pressure equipment applications in petrochemical environments, the customer required:
- Compliance with ASME pressure vessel material standards
- Ultrasonic testing (UT) for pressure vessel plates
- Complete material certificates and traceability documents
- Impact test reports
- Welding material matching documents
- Customized plate preparation including prefabrication bevel processing
The supplier needed to provide reliable material quality and documentation support to ensure smooth fabrication and third-party inspection.

Technical Solution
Pressure Vessel Steel Plate Supply
SA516 Gr70 pressure vessel plates were supplied for atmospheric storage tank fabrication.
The material was selected according to ASME requirements and provided reliable performance for pressure equipment manufacturing.
Quality control included:
- Ultrasonic testing (UT)
- Material certificates
- Mechanical property verification
- Impact testing documentation
- Stainless Steel Material for Heat Exchanger System
316L stainless steel plates and seamless tubes were supplied for heat exchanger-related applications.
With excellent corrosion resistance and stable performance, 316L materials were suitable for petrochemical process environments requiring reliable long-term operation.
The seamless tubes were supplied according to ASTM A312 requirements with fixed-length delivery to support efficient fabrication.
Fabrication Support
To improve manufacturing efficiency, the supplied steel plates were delivered with prefabrication bevel preparation.
This reduced additional processing requirements during equipment fabrication and helped accelerate the customer’s production schedule.
Project Results
All supplied pressure vessel plates successfully passed UT inspection.
The complete documentation package, including material certificates and impact test reports, met ASME requirements and third-party inspection standards.
With qualified materials and customized delivery services, the fabricated equipment successfully passed the hydraulic pressure test and was commissioned according to the planned schedule.
