API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks anchorage forces

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

API 650 storage tanks API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks are only suitable for containers that can evenly support the entire bottom and containers for non-refrigerated equipment with a design maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks requires a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch. Other characteristics of the API 650 storage tank are: it is composed of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum.

The Peru customer has cooperated with us since April 2015, and then they purchased 300 tons A36 mild steel plates as trial order. Since then, they book more than 1000 tons from us every time, and about two times every year. They asked SGS test every time. Through our cooperation those years, we have built very good relationship and they entrust us to buy other related API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks products for them from China also. And they have introduced us good customers in Peru, among which there are also governmental projects. It is a win-win cooperation between us.

API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage 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 cylindrical welded storage 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.
