API standard 650 open-top tanks slag inclusion

The refrigerated tank primary components shall include, but will not be limited to, the following parts of a single-wall tank or of the inner tank API standard 650 open-top tanks in a double-wall tank: shell plates; bottom plates; knuckle plates; compression rings; and shell manways and nozzles including reinforcement, shell anchors, piping, tubing, forgings, and bolting. Roof nozzles in contact with the refrigerated liquid shall be considered primary components.

API 650 internal floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks tank can be used to store gasoline, jet fuel and other volatile oil products, as well as aldehydes, alcohols (methanol, ethanol), ketones (acetone), benzene (benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene) and other liquid chemicals.

The mechanical seal of floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks relies on mechanical force to press the sealing steel plate tightly against the tank wall, so that it can slide on the tank wall and avoid gap as far as possible. However, mechanical seal has high requirements for the geometry of storage tank and poor adaptability, so mechanical seal is rarely used in newly built floating roof API standard 650 open-top tanks.
