A678 grade A plates API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks

Generally, the snow load in the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks construction area should be considered before the design and construction of the tank. The snow load in the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks construction area has an impact on the tank roof design and operation, especially in the area with large snow load, the roof load of large storage tank with large diameter increases. Anti freezing, heat preservation and waterproof measures shall be taken for the additional facilities of storage tanks, such as pumps, breathing valves, flame arresters, detection instruments and thermal insulation layers.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.API 650 "welded storage tanks" API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks is a standard developed and issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API), which specifies the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture, installation and inspection of welded storage tanks.The company attaches great importance to the value of iron and steel, constantly improving itself in terms of attitude, innovation, human resources, etc., integrating the value of iron and steel into the company's philosophy, showing the spirit of fighting for API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks iron and steel, forging iron and steel enterprise, creating steel market, establishing iron and steel team, and attaching importance to the sustainable development of iron and steel industry, so as to make iron and steel our permanent cause.The company will rely on its good reputation, excellent hot-rolled plates, steel pipes, steel structure products, and intimate API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks after-sales service to customers.
