API standard 650 self-anchored tanks height
The thickness of the API standard 650 self-anchored tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in. (2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.
The welded steel API 650 storage tank API standard 650 self-anchored tanks is designed, manufactured and installed on the surface according to the API standard system classification. API 650, API620 and API 12D belong to the API standards for professional construction.
The establishment of a correct method for evaluating the life of API standard 650 self-anchored tanks requires the preparation of criteria related to the strength and cracks of API standard 650 self-anchored tanks, mechanical damage mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and mathematical models of fatigue crack growth, etc., which are compiled into computer programs. In the process of programming the program, it is required to select the operating parameters, plates, reinforcement accessories, metal properties, corrosion levels, mechanical damage defects and other data of the oil storage tank under various conditions.
