API 650 SUG I tanks qualification of welders

The floating roof is the top cover floating on the liquid level, so the sealing performance of API 650 SUG I tanks API 650 oil storage tank is very important. The floating plate mainly adopts elastic packing, and at the same time, it is compressed with the wall of API 650 oil storage tank with pressure strip around, and fixed with the floating plate with bolts. After the API 650 SUG I tanks floating plate is lowered to a certain position of about 1.8m, a prop will support the floating plate to keep it in position.

Corrosion of the API 650 SUG I tanks body caused by external conditions such as high temperature, rain, humidity, or inadequate anti-corrosion measures of the oil storage tank itself, the water-bearing deposits in the oil storage tank caused corrosion and perforation of the inner surface of the oil storage tank bottom plate. Defects fatigue cracks caused by stress, with the accumulation of time, the compressive strength of the API 650 SUG I tanks body decreases and corrosion cracks occur.

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.

In the final analysis, the market competition is the competition for customers. Whether selling products or services, the final customer satisfaction is the standard to test the success or failure of marketing work. The so-called after-sales service is to fully understand customers, study customer psychology, pay attention to after-sales details, improve work shortcomings, improve service quality, and Exchange customer brand loyalty through the whole process of quality service.
