API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks bottom plates

The internal floating plate of internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is different from that of open floating plate of API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks External floating roof tank of API 650 tank, so it is impossible to have rain and snow load.

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.

Oil tank is an important equipment for oil storage. The common API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks is composed of foundation, bottom plate, wall plate, top plate and accessories. The types of oil tank are various, which can be divided according to the characteristics of material, installation position, storage oil, use, appearance, structure and volume of oil tank. The commonly used materials of metal oil tank are stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.
