API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks maximum design temperature

Prefabrication requirements for API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks, large vertical storage tanks:
1. The machined surface of the edge of the steel plate should be smooth, and there should be no defects such as slag inclusion, delamination, cracks, etc., and the surface hardened layer produced by the flame cutting groove should be removed.
2. Dimension deviation after steel plate processing: the deviation of plate width is less than 1.5 mm, the deviation of plate length is less than 2 mm, and the difference between diagonals is less than 3 mm.

Impact Requirements for Controlled-rolled or Thermo-mechanical Control Process (TMCP) Plates: Subject to the approval of the Purchaser, controlled-rolled or TMCP plates (material produced by a mechanical- thermal rolling process designed to enhance the notch toughness) may be used where normalized plates are required. API 620 welded storage tanks each used plate, as rolled, shall be Charpy V-notch tested to the requirements of R.2.1.2.

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks tanks below 5000 m.

The 2019 Year of the Pig is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Growing up with the motherland, our company sang songs to the mark the 70th victory anniversary. In September, we organized all employees to sing "My Country and I" and made a film.
