aluminum sheet 5456 API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI.

Sand blasting and derusting of API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks uses compressed air as power and SiC, pomegranate sand and quartz sand as spraying materials to form high-speed jet beam, which is used to remove rust and dirt on the surface of metal storage tank and improve the binding force of workpiece with coating and plating material. Sand blasting is often used in API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks construction.

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.
