API 650 open top welded storage tanks diameter

The characteristics of the API 650 open top welded storage tanks internal floating roof structure of API 650 petroleum storage tanks: the inner floating roof or inner floating plate refers to the floating roof that floats on the liquid surface of the oil tank with the oil and liquid up and down. The API 650 open top welded storage tanks inner floating roof is used to cover the liquid. The surface is currently recognized as the most ideal and most economical and practical way to reduce oil evaporation loss.

Ultrasonic testing can find the internal defects of API 650 open top welded storage tanks welding joint, this detection method is very accurate for the internal layer defects of oil tank, but ultrasonic detection is not suitable for the detection of thin-walled storage tank materials. Dye penetrant testing is only suitable for detecting the defects of the surface opening of API 650 open top welded storage tanks and so on metal oil tanks. The feature of this method is convenient and fast.

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.
