API 650 carbon steel storage tanks compartments
API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API 650 carbon steel storage tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API 650 carbon steel storage tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.
The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 carbon steel storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 carbon steel storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API 650 carbon steel storage tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.
