A573 Gr 65 plates API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

According to API 650 tanks, anchoring devices should be designed to transfer overturning moments to the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks tank foundation. At the same time, according to API 650 tank Appendix F, when the tank is to be anchored, the size of the anchoring parts is determined by the maximum lifting force caused by the internal pressure and wind load or the combination of internal pressure and seismic load.

The most popular standards for API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

Service Conditions and Hydrogen-induced Cracking
When the service conditions might include the presence of hydrogen sulfide or other conditions that may promote hydrogen-induced cracking effects, particularly near the bottom of the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks shell at the shell-to-bottom connections, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials and details of construction of the tank are adequate to resist hydrogen- induced cracking. The Purchaser shall consider restricting the sulphur content of the material to be stored through thickness testing of the steel, laboratory surveillance tests, and the use of internal tank coatings to reduce the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking.

Our company's technical department is the core department of the whole company. There are a group of very professional technical personnel. They provide some architectural drawings according to the ideas of customers, and they are responsible for how to select the right materials. Including the evaluation of steel products such as multi steel plate, API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks and steel pipe, grasp the whole production process, and strictly follow the production standards and customer quality requirements.

Management information and high efficiency. Because of the rapid flow of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks goods, container multimodal transport and "door-to-door" transport, it is required that the port must have a modern information network, so that it can have the comprehensive capabilities of all-weather access, rapid loading and unloading, customs clearance, collection, distribution, storage and transportation
