API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks seismic design

No matter what type of storage tank needs to be built, the natural conditions of the geographical area where the tank is located should be fully considered in the design. Because natural conditions will affect the service life, storage safety and construction cost of storage tanks such as API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.

The materials used in the construction of Appendix Q oil tanks may be subject to severe pitting, cracking, or rusting if they are exposed to contaminated test water for extended periods of time. The Purchaser shall specify a minimum quality of test water that conforms to Q.8.3.2 through Q.8.3.8. After the water test is completed, the tank API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks shall be promptly drained, cleaned, and dried.

The API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks external floating roof tank of API 650 tank has many advantages, and its application range is more and more wide. It is a kind of storage tank with a bright future. The well-designed internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is the best and least investment method to control evaporation loss of API standard 650 open top welded storage tanks Fixed roof tank.
