API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks impulsive water parameters

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

The coating on the outer wall of API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API standard 650 flat-bottom steel tanks with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.

We have a stable system and professional human resource management work as the support, from the six aspects of guidance, cohesion, incentive, constraint, radiation and stability, we continue to introduce, modify and train employees from concept to action, and shape employees through constant guidance of common values.

We have transportation department and shipping department to coordinate logistics and delivery. Seamless connection between inland transportation and sea transportation ensures smooth delivery, saves transportation time and delivers goods in the first time. During the sea transportation, we will update the freight progress for customers on a regular basis, so as to facilitate the tracking of customers and make preparations for receiving goods leisurely and timely.

The after-sale service of iron and steel products includes after-sale tracking service, technical guidance, transfer of relevant bills, handling of objections and many other contents. The handling of quality objections accounts for a large proportion. When dealing with these problems, we should distinguish the responsibilities, and compensate or return the inconvenience or loss caused to users due to steel.
