API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks sliding friction

Usually, the wind load in the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks construction area should be considered before the tank design and construction. The wind load in the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks construction area has an impact on the stability and economy of the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks. In the area with large wind load, it is safe to design the tank as "squat". When calculating the wind force, the influence of the thickness of the insulation layer of the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks, the shape of the ladder, the platform, the pipeline and the top cover must be considered.

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.

The floating roof is the top cover floating on the liquid level, so the sealing performance of API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks API 650 oil storage tank is very important. The floating plate mainly adopts elastic packing, and at the same time, it is compressed with the wall of API 650 oil storage tank with pressure strip around, and fixed with the floating plate with bolts. After the API standard 650 flat-bottom tanks floating plate is lowered to a certain position of about 1.8m, a prop will support the floating plate to keep it in position.
