A537 class 2 plates API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantages of high safety: the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanksinner floating plate floats on the liquid surface, so that the liquid phase has no evaporation space, which can reduce the evaporation loss by 85% to 90%. At the same time, the API 650 petroleum storage tank blocks the air and liquid storage through the floating disk, which reduces air pollution and reduces the degree of fire risk.

How to effectively increase the service life of API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks oil tanks? It is necessary to check and inspect the oil tank regularly in the process of use, and do a good job in the maintenance and cleaning of the oil tank. The oil tank should be inspected every 6 years. With the increase of service life, the inspection interval should be shortened. Daily maintenance and cleaning of the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks can prolong the service life of the oil tank. The maintenance of the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks mainly includes the anti-corrosion inspection of the oil tank, the maintenance of the accessories, and the cleaning of the sediment in the tank.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 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.
