API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks limitations

One of the most widely used design codes is the API 650 Standard, from the American Petroleum Institute. The main objective of this standards API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks is, through the requirements contained in its various sections, to facilitate the purchase and construction of vertical, aboveground, welded fabricated tanks assuring that required safety regulations are met.

Allowable compressive stresses shall be in accordance with 5.5.4 except that for aluminum alloy plate the allowable compressive stresses shall be reduced by the ratio of the modulus of compressive elasticity to 29,000 for values of (t – c)/R less than 0.0175 and by the ratio of the minimum yield strength for the aluminum alloy in question to 30,000 for values of (t – c)/R equal to or greater than 0.0175 (see 5.5.2 for definitions). In all other equations in this standard API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks where yield strength or modulus of elasticity is used, such as Equations 27 and 28, similar corrections shall be made for aluminum alloys.

The normal operation of API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks includes receiving oil, storing oil, sending oil and measuring oil. The correct use and operation of oil storage tank is directly related to the production safety and oil loss of oil tank. In order to use and operate the API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks correctly, it is necessary to be familiar with and master the structure and performance of the API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks and its accessories, such as the maximum storage capacity of the oil tank, the pressure range that can bear and the safety fabrication specification.

We had a wonderful trip in Phuket Island, Thailand. At the end of 2019, in order to thank employees for their hard work for a year and enrich their lives, our company organized a pleasant trip to Phuket Island, Thailand. The tour lasted 6 days and 5 nights, and returned by plane on the evening of December 27. We took off in Zhengzhou at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the 22th December.

In the process of API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks steel transportation, enterprises often use railway transportation, highway transportation, water transportation and other ways to transport. According to the cargo owner's requirements on the timeliness of the goods and the different transportation routes, our company will choose API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks different modes of transportation. According to the specific needs of customers, or specify the mode of transportation.

From the order to the delivery, there are three quality inspections to ensure that the qualified rate of finished products is more than 100%. We promise that every order will be tracked in a timely manner to ensure that customers can receive goods safely and constantly listen to their opinions and suggestions, reflect on our own problems, and let customers feel at ease. We have a large warehouse in Shanghai and Tianjin, which can provide customers with sufficient sources of supply.
