54m diameter API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

The mechanical seal of floating roof API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks relies on mechanical force to press the sealing steel plate tightly against the tank wall, so that it can slide on the tank wall and avoid gap as far as possible. However, mechanical seal has high requirements for the geometry of storage tank and poor adaptability, so mechanical seal is rarely used in newly built floating roof API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks.

The density of the liquid API 620 large welded, low pressure storage tanks stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 36 lbf/ft3. The maximum allowable tensile stress shall be taken from Table 5-1 or Table Q-3. For the maximum allowable stresses for design loading combined with wind or earthquake loads, see API Standard 620 5.5.6 for carbon steel and Q.3.3.5 for stainless steel and aluminum.

Our technical department plays important role in our professional communication with customers, especially those who have high technical requirements for steel materials and those who need complex further processing. Under such condition, our technician department can provide technical support in time, anylize customer design or make drawing according to customer needs rapidly, so that we can proceed smoothly. The profession of our team has won great praise of customers.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
