API 650 tanks subject to seismic loading
The most popular standards for API 650 tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API 650 tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API 650 tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.Allowable compressive stresses shall be in accordance with 5.5.4 except that for aluminum alloy plate the allowable compressive stresses shall be reduced by the ratio of the modulus of compressive elasticity to 29,000 for values of (t – c)/R less than 0.0175 and by the ratio of the minimum yield strength for the aluminum alloy in question to 30,000 for values of (t – c)/R equal to or greater than 0.0175 (see 5.5.2 for definitions). In all other equations in this standard API 650 tanks where yield strength or modulus of elasticity is used, such as Equations 27 and 28, similar corrections shall be made for aluminum alloys.storage tanks API 650 tanks designed in accordance with the rules and guidelines of API 650 are called API 650 storage tanks. API 650 is a control rule for welded storage tanks that work normally in the normal pressure range.Based on the principle of “sincerity and win-win cooperation”, our company keeps forging ahead.
