A350 grade LF1 forgings API standard 650 anchored tanks

API 650 internal floating roof API standard 650 anchored tanks tank can be used to store gasoline, jet fuel and other volatile oil products, as well as aldehydes, alcohols (methanol, ethanol), ketones (acetone), benzene (benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene) and other liquid chemicals.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 anchored tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API standard 650 anchored tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

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 anchored 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.
