5052 aluminum shapes API 650 welded steel oil storage tanks
Standard API 650 tank calls for calculations based on the specific gravity of the liquid product being stored. This permits the thickness of the steel API 650 welded steel oil storage tanks needed as well as other specifications of how the tank is built to be determined by the weight of the API 650 tank.
In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
Generally, external environment corrosion should be considered before design and construction of API 650 welded steel oil storage tanks and so on storage tanks. The corrosion on the outer surface of storage tank is often worse than that on the inner surface. Especially in the chemical industry area, there are often acid fog, alkali or salt dust in the atmosphere. These impurities form an active corrosive medium with dew or steam and oxygen in the atmosphere. The corrosion of the external environment of the storage tank shortens the maintenance period of the storage tank, even causes the storage tank to be scrapped in advance, which affects the normal operation of the storage and transportation.
Based on the principle of “sincerity and win-win cooperation”, our company keeps forging ahead. In the fierce market competition, we have won the trust and rapid development of our customers with good cooperation and sincere service spirit. With pioneering spirit, the pursuit of excellence, continuous learning, and never satisfied content, we will create a win-win situation with our customers to create a better future. The company has sufficient inventory and complete varieties and specifications.
As we all know, steel pipes occupy more space in the process of transportation. If there is no good way of packing, the transportation cost for steel pipes will be a big expense. In view of this characteristic, our company is ingenious and adopts the nest package method to solve this problem perfectly. The premise of the nest package is that the diameters of the steel pipes are different, and the small diameter pipe is inserted in the large diameter pipe. This not only saves the volume, but also saves the transportation cost. It also reduces the loading and unloading workload by half, saves precious time, and enables customers to receive goods earlier.
Our company regularly visits customers, consults and follows up the after-sales service, and directly solves problems for customers. In the use of our steel materials, whether quality problems or not, the after-sales will help solve the problem as soon as possible. We promise free life-long replacement for any product quality problems. The sound after-sales service system make you free from worries.
