160ft diameter API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks

Materials for API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks primary components shall comply with the requirements of Tables R-1 and R-2. All primary components shall be impact tested in accordance with R.2.1.2 through R.2.1.4. Impact testing of API 620 welded storage tanks plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with Table R-1. Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling.

This API 650 tank standard does not present orstablish a fixed series of allowable tank sizes: instead, it s intended to permit the purchaser to select whatever size API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks tank may best meet his needs.

The coating on the outer wall of API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.
