42m diameter API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank

API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank Nondestructive testing is a technical means to detect the weld defects of large vertical tank and judge whether the weld is qualified by using the characteristics of sound, light, magnetism and electricity without damaging the tested object. Common nondestructive testing methods: ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), liquid penetrant testing (PT) and X-ray testing (RT).

When the API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

The reticulated API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.
