60ft diameter API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks

The seal of floating roof API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks is a device used to reduce the evaporation loss of the storage liquid in the annular space between the tank wall and the outer ring plate of the floating roof. The common sealing forms include mechanical seal, elastic filling seal, lip seal and secondary seal. No matter what kind of seal, the seal must be combined with the floating roof effectively to reduce the evaporation loss of the liquid in the floating roof.

In this project a cylindrical tank 75 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 0.5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade B steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less.
The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The tank API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks roof is a conical shape with a 2:12 slope and a 1/4 in. thickness with single full-fillet welded lap joints. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of juncture of the roof and sidewall.

Tanks which are designed following rules and guidelines of API 650 are API 650 tanks. API 650 API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks is the governing code for Welded tanks for Oil storage normally operating in the atmospheric pressure range. The code API 650 provides guidelines for design, fabrication, material, erection, and inspection of welded vertical and cylindrical storage tanks. Such API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks Tanks must be above ground with a closed or open top.
