API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks primary drains

Floating roof is the key component of floating roof API 650 storage tank, which can be divided into external floating roof and internal API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks floating roof. The internal floating roof has a fixed top cover above the floating roof, which can prevent the floating roof from being exposed to wind and rain, and ensure the quality of oil stored under API 650 storage tank.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, 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 aboveground steel oil storage tanks foam generator is a fire extinguishing device fixed on the oil tank. One end of the foam generator is connected to the foam pipeline, and one end is flanged on the top layer of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks wall. Fire extinguishing foam flows through the air intake entrance of the fire foam chamber, inhaling a large amount of air to form foam, and breaking through the insulating glass into the tank (glass thickness is not greater than 2mm), so as to achieve the purpose of fire fighting.
