API standard 650 aluminum tanks stressed components

Before pressure test, the main drain hose system of API 650 petroleum storage tank floating roof should be thoroughly flushed. Provide blind flanges, gaskets and bolts required for the API standard 650 aluminum tanks test (other types of covers are also required if necessary). Covers for maintenance shall be provided in accordance with the interfaces specified by API 650 petroleum storage tanks, and these seals shall remain in place after the test; and for those interfaces that are not provided for maintenance covers, the covers can be removed after the API standard 650 aluminum tanks test.

API standard 650 aluminum tanks any joints between the adjacent sections of stiffening rings, as shown in Figure R-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joints ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole.

Static storage loss is also known as "small breathing" consumption. The rise and fall of the temperature in the API standard 650 aluminum tanks leads to the increase and decrease of the pressure in the tank, which makes the mixed oil gas discharged from the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption. Fluid level loss is also called "big breathing" loss. It is the oil consumption caused by the change of gas space volume in the API standard 650 aluminum tanks during the oil receiving and sending operation, which causes the mixed oil gas to be discharged out of the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption due to the change of liquid level height.

Firmly establish the "people-oriented, safe development" concept, strictly follow the safety production policy of "safety first, prevention first, comprehensive management", strengthen and improve the management and supervision of safety production in an all-round way, and strive to improve the controllability of safety management And effectiveness, cultivate safety culture, improve long-term safety production mechanism, and build a harmonious BEBON.
