API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks metal temperature during hydrostatic testing

API 620 Tank Design
The designer of these large tanks API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks shall supply the data on superimposed loadings to be assumed for the foundation design or, if there are no foundations, for direct loading on the subgrade. A slab or mat may be provided to support the superstructure and shall be considered to distribute the load more evenly over a lower natural subgrade compared with merely stripping, leveling, and rolling the existing grade.
For simple spheroids or tanks of similar design, in which the distribution of the imposed weights shifts because the liquid level in combination with the vapor pressure may change the shape of the tank, the designer shall consider the possibility of such a change.

We also specialize in internal and external floating roofs, cathodic protection, primary and secondary containment, and storage tank foundations. Our staff are skilled in producing API 650 petroleum storage tanks. If you need to replace or repair API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks API 650 petroleum storage tanks, please contact us in time. Every API 650 petroleum storage tank we make emphasizes quality and safety.

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks are: 1. It is related to the change of temperature difference between day and night. The greater the change of temperature difference between day and night, the greater the loss of "small breathing"; on the contrary, the smaller the change of temperature difference between day and night, the smaller the loss. 2. It is related to the sunshine time of the oil storage tank. The longer the sunshine, the more the "small breathing" loss; otherwise, the less the loss.
