API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks dead load

The company's sales department has a professional team, they have professional steel knowledge, respond quickly, with the problems raised by customers can quickly give solutions, put the interests of customers first. With their own professional knowledge to provide customers with high-quality steel plate in line with the requirements. At the same time, in terms of price, we also have great advantages. Members of the business department make sure that the delivery time is short and the service is the best.In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.Similarities between API 650 and API 620 tanks Both tanks are used for storage purposes. Both API 620 and API 650 containers API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature).Enterprise Motto:Integrity, harmony, dedication, innovation and developmentAbility is the cornerstone of success; action is the ladder of successGrow with the enterprise; progress with the enterpriseGive a platform to those who actually do things and a stage to those who successfully do thingsDare to be the first, to pursue excellence.The foundation design of the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks should meet the requirements of foundation stability and deformation, that is, the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks foundation should not be crushed and the uneven settlement value of the foundation should be within the allowable range. The uneven settlement of the storage tank foundation should be specified in the design process of the safe allowable range, because excessive uneven settlement will reduce the safety of the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks and cause distortion and deformation of the tank wall and bottom plate.
