160ft diameter API 650 low-alloy steel tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API 650 low-alloy steel tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API 650 low-alloy steel tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

The preparatory work before the construction of the API 650 low-alloy steel tanks is directly related to the quality assurance, project progress, construction safety and other aspects of the entire oil tank project. Therefore, the preparation work before the API 650 low-alloy steel tanks construction should be paid attention to and planned. Before API 650 low-alloy steel tanks construction, you need to prepare conventional machinery, materials, and facilities, as well as the quality control of the project, such as the installation method of the API 650 low-alloy steel tanks, the welding method of the steel plate, and the inspection of the tank material. In addition, there is the most important item, construction safety protection.

The API 650 low-alloy steel tanks outer wall shall be designed for the purging and operating pressure of the space between the inner and outer tank shells and for the loading from the insulation, the pressure of wind forces, and the roof loading.
The outer tank bottom, shell, and roof shall have a minimum nominal thickness of 3/16 in. (7.65 lbf/ft2) and shall conform to the material requirements of Q.2.3.
