API 650 unanchored tanks roof load

The company has a group of experienced steel plate continuous processing line construction, production management, operation and professional and technical personnel. The company is a modern enterprise integrating scientific research and development, production processing, sales and service. Our main products include hot rolled plates, seamless pipes, API 650 unanchored tanks and steel structures. At the same time, it also adheres to international standards and adheres to the international line.

Before welding the API 650 unanchored tanks, the professional skills of the welding personnel shall be fully assessed to ensure that the operators meet the corresponding welding qualifications. According to the technical standards, scientific and feasible process requirements are actually formulated. In the process of welding the edge plate of API 650 unanchored tanks, electric welding is required on one side of the edge plate, so that the edge plate has a free shrinkage effect and greatly reduces the residual stress of the welding seam.

Design of Compression-ring Regions
In this project, a cylindrical tank 30 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade A steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less. The top course of the butt- welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick, including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The tank API 650 unanchored tanks roof is a butt-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 30 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in., including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the roof and sidewall.
