API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks roof accessories

storage tanks API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.

Comparison of the quality of mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning of vertical storage tanks, API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks. The mechanical cleaning of the API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks can make the inside of the tank be thoroughly cleaned in multiple directions, and the cleaning quality is high, and the cleaned oil does not contain lumpy impurities. While the walls and roof of the API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks cannot be cleaned in multiple directions during manual cleaning, and the cleaning quality is not easy to be guaranteed. The oily sewage collected after cleaning usually contains a lot of lumpy impurities, and these oil products are difficult to clean.

Firmly establish the "people-oriented, safe development" concept, strictly follow the safety production policy of "safety first, prevention first, comprehensive management", strengthen and improve the management and supervision of safety production in an all-round way, and strive to improve the controllability of safety management And effectiveness, cultivate safety culture, improve long-term safety production mechanism, and build a harmonious BEBON.

Japan is a typical shipping first, and its raw materials are imported from Oceania, central and South America and other Asian countries. Most of the API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks steel produced is exported to China and other Asian countries, and a small amount is exported to America. Shipping is the main way of its API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks steel international transportation. According to the data, steel goods account for about 20% of the total sea freight in Japan. The domestic transportation of Japanese steel is mainly truck.
