60m diameter API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks

Under the same sealing effect, the internal floating roof tank of API 650 oil storage tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks External floating roof tank. This is due to the shielding of the fixed roof and the gas layer between the fixed roof and the internal floating plate, which has more significant heat insulation effect than the double disc floating roof of the API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks external floating roof tank.

Tank cracks are common API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks defects, mainly including tank wall cracks, internal cracks, weld zone cracks. The reason for these defects may be that the defects not exceeding the standard existed in the early stage of API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks construction, which become obvious after the later use. Or in the process of using the API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks, the tank body material generated new defects due to corrosion, pressure, wear and other reasons, and tank cracks.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. 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 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.
