API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks documentation requirements

Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:
1. API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;
2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃～150℃;
3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;
4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

The main advantages of the external floating roof API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks are large storage capacity, suitable for storing more than 10000 cubic meters of crude oil. Compared with the internal floating roof API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks, the production of external floating roof API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks is simple and the steel consumption is less. However, the central drainage system of external floating roof API standard 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks should be installed on the outer floating roof to ensure that the accumulated water can be discharged smoothly in rainy and snowy days, and avoid sinking accident.
