API standard 650 larger diameter tanks owner

Pressure Setting of Safety DevicesExcept as provided in API 620 tank 9.5 for certain liquid relief valves, the pressure setting of a pressure-relieving device shall in no case exceed the maximum pressure that can exist at the level where the device is located when the pressure at the top of the tank equals the nominal pressure rating for the tank (see API 620 tank 5.3.1) and the liquid contained in the tank API standard 650 larger diameter tanks is at the maximum design level.Vacuum-relieving devices shall be set to open at such a pressure or partial vacuum that the partial vacuum in the tank cannot exceed that for which the tank is designed when the inflow of air (or other gas or vapor) through the device is at its maximum specified rate.

The effect of air pressure on the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks tank walls of the API 650 tank must be considered when the design pressure is greater than 2 kPa.The fixed point method can be used to design the tank wall of atmospheric or micro internal pressure API standard 650 larger diameter tanks storage tank.

To scientifically evaluate the remaining service life of the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks, it is necessary to know the thickness change and development trend of the storage tank sheet after long-term use, combined with the metal characteristics of the storage tank, the influence of various external conditions and the continuous change of the oil pressure in the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks, etc. factors to judge. Because the metal characteristics, corrosion defects, load and other numerical parameters of the API standard 650 larger diameter tanks are randomly changed, the value of the remaining service life of the storage tank will also be dynamic.
