API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks load combinations

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

Group consciousness is an important psychological factor for the formation of enterprise internal cohesion. The formation of API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks enterprise group consciousness makes every employee of the enterprise regard their work and behavior as an integral part of the realization of enterprise goals, make them feel proud of themselves as a member of the enterprise, have a sense of honor for the achievements of the enterprise, and thus regard the API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks enterprise as the community and belonging of their own interests.

In this project, an area of steel storage oil 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.
