API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks for liquid products storage

Generally, the snow load in the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks construction area should be considered before the design and construction of the tank. The snow load in the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks construction area has an impact on the tank roof design and operation, especially in the area with large snow load, the roof load of large storage tank with large diameter increases. Anti freezing, heat preservation and waterproof measures shall be taken for the additional facilities of storage tanks, such as pumps, breathing valves, flame arresters, detection instruments and thermal insulation layers.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

According to API 650 tanks, anchoring devices should be designed to transfer overturning moments to the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks tank foundation. At the same time, according to API 650 tank Appendix F, when the tank is to be anchored, the size of the anchoring parts is determined by the maximum lifting force caused by the internal pressure and wind load or the combination of internal pressure and seismic load.

The company always adheres to the concept of green production, follows the development path of innovation, transformation and improvement, and has carried out in-depth cooperation with Zhengzhou University and other scientific research institutes, planning from a high starting point, strict standard design, and successfully implementing engineering projects With nearly 20 research and development projects, the company's production technology and equipment are at the forefront of the industry, and indicators such as environmental protection, energy consumption, cost, and resource utilization have reached the advanced level in the industry.
