API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks centering and anti-rotation devices

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI.

When the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom 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.

After using for a certain period of time, it is necessary to check the corrosion protection of the metal oil tank and paint the outer wall of the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks with anti-corrosion paint. The inlet and outlet valves of API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure they are in good condition. Oil tank will produce a lot of dirt when it is stored for a long time. Usually, the cleaning cycle of metal oil tank is about three to five years.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
