A516 grade 380 plates API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks

The reticulated API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.

Corrosion of the API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks body caused by external conditions such as high temperature, rain, humidity, or inadequate anti-corrosion measures of the oil storage tank itself, the water-bearing deposits in the oil storage tank caused corrosion and perforation of the inner surface of the oil storage tank bottom plate. Defects fatigue cracks caused by stress, with the accumulation of time, the compressive strength of the API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks body decreases and corrosion cracks occur.

Suggested Practice Regarding Installation of Low-pressure Storage Tanks
Access: All openings and accessories for tanks API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks constructed according to this standard shall be installed so that any periodic inspections required can be readily made.
Corrosion: When a tank bottom rests directly on the ground, a survey shall be made to establish the need for cathodic protection.
Drainage: All tanks in which water might accumulate under the hydrocarbon contents shall be provided with adequate drains that are suitably protected from freezing.
