API standard 650 insulated tanks shaping of shell plates

In the petrochemical industry and other industries, large vertical API standard 650 insulated tanks are often used to store various production raw materials. Usually, the medium with high melting point and easy to crystallize at room temperature can be exported and used after heating, which involves the heating of large vertical storage tanks. The heating system is an auxiliary facility for heating of large vertical storage tank. It is often necessary to design external heating coil or internal heating coil system.In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. 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 8000 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.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.Under the same sealing effect, the internal API standard 650 insulated tanks floating roof API 650 tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the external floating roof API 650 tank. This is due to the shielding of the fixed roof and the gas phase layer between the fixed roof and the inner floating plate, which has more significant heat insulation effect than the double disc floating roof of the API standard 650 insulated tanks external floating roof tank.Product concept: take the technology leading as the pillar of the enterprise, achieve the development goal of the enterprise with the reliable products, the reliable technology and the trustworthy services, and devote to the creative reform activities leading in the technical development and career of the industry to create new value through continuous change.The high strength API standard 650 insulated tanks low alloy steel, which is shorten as HSLA steel, is one of our main products.
