API standard 650 insulated tanks leg lengths

While GB50341 generally takes the weld coefficient as 0.9;When the minimum yield strength of API standard 650 insulated tanks steel plate is greater than 390 MPa, take 0.85. The thickness of API 650 tanks is generally smaller than that of GB50341, and this difference is particularly evident in the design of large tanks, where the overall weight of the tanks varies greatly.

The most popular standards for API standard 650 insulated tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API standard 650 insulated tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API standard 650 insulated tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

storage tank Annular Bottom Plates
Thickness shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) plus corrosion allowance unless a thickness increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Annular plate width shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) unless a width increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Thickness used for determination of API 650 welded storage tank standard, Appendix E width shall be based on the thickness required for seismic product hold down.

Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.

In the process of API standard 650 insulated 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 insulated tanks different modes of transportation. According to the specific needs of customers, or specify the mode of transportation.
