API standard 650 aluminum tanks knuckles

This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API standard 650 aluminum tanks design, supply, fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached Datasheets and/or Drawings.

API standard 650 aluminum tanks Manhole: The manhole is used for the operator to enter and exit the oil tank for inspection, cleaning and repair. For the convenience of personnel access, the installation position of the manhole is generally on the center line of the oil tank bottom, and the vertical oil tank is installed at the lowest layer of the tank wall. API standard 650 aluminum tanks Light-transmitting hole: Light-transmitting hole is also called day-lighting hole. It is used for lighting and ventilation when inspecting, repairing and scrubbing the oil tank. It is generally installed on the top of the oil tank above the inlet and outlet pipes.

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 standard 650 aluminum 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.

We can process the steel materials according to your drawing. Or if you can not make drawing, please send us API standard 650 aluminum tanks specific data and requirements, our technical department can make design and drawing for you, and then confirm with your technician or engineer. If all is OK, our processing center will process the steel materials according to the drawing. So no matter what size and shapes you need, we can meet demands at the most time.

Facing the new situation and facing new goals, the company revolves around the sixteen-character development policy of “prioritizing production preservation, society-oriented, market operation, and brand creation and efficiency”.
