API 650 open top welded storage tanks data sheets

Generally, the snow load in the API 650 open top welded storage tanks construction area should be considered before the design and construction of the tank. The snow load in the API 650 open top welded storage tanks construction area has an impact on the tank roof design and operation, especially in the area with large snow load, the roof load of large storage tank with large diameter increases. Anti freezing, heat preservation and waterproof measures shall be taken for the additional facilities of storage tanks, such as pumps, breathing valves, flame arresters, detection instruments and thermal insulation layers.

The company strengthens process management and pays attention to assessment. One of the key points of good service is to strengthen the process management and improve the evaluation mechanism. Make the after-sales service system more perfect and provide better service for customers.

When the API 650 open top welded storage tanks top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

The reticulated API 650 open top welded storage tanks shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.
