API 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks general requirements for delivery of plates

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API 650 partially anchored liquid-storage 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.

Density of API 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks Liquid Stored
The density of the liquid stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 29.3 lbf/ft3 for methane, 34.21 lbf/ft3 for ethane, and 35.5 lbf/ft3 for ethylene.
Design Metal Temperature
The design metal temperature of each component exposed to the liquid or vapor being stored shall be the lower of the temperatures specified as follows: The design metal temperature of the components of the API 620 single-wall tank or the inner tank of a double-wall tank shall be the minimum temperature to which the tank contents shall be refrigerated, including the effect of subcolony at reduced pressure.

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantage of long economic life: because there is no gas space on the liquid surface in the internal floating roof API 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks storage tank, the vibration generated during the transportation of liquid inside and outside the tank is reduced.
