API 650 closed top welded storage tanks maximum design pressure

Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.

Safety comparison between mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning of vertical storage tank, API 650 closed top welded storage tanks. Closed cleaning is adopted for mechanical cleaning. During the cleaning process, operators are not required to enter the tank. The inert gas space formed in the storage tank can prevent the occurrence of fire, explosion and other accidents. When the API 650 closed top welded storage tanks is manually cleaned, the operators should directly enter the tank for cleaning, threatening the health of employees, and there is no inert gas space in the tank, which is prone to fire and explosion accidents.

Design of Compression-ring Regions
In this project, a cylindrical tank 30 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade A steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less. The top course of the butt- welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick, including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The tank API 650 closed top welded storage tanks roof is a butt-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 30 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in., including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the roof and sidewall.
