API standard 650 storage tank normative references

The preparatory work before the construction of the API standard 650 storage tank is an important part of the oil tank project. Material purchase preparation before the construction of the API standard 650 storage tank:
Before API standard 650 storage tank construction, all materials shall be purchased and prepared, and the specifications and quality of materials shall be inspected to see if they meet the construction operation requirements. Fire and rain proof measures should be taken when storing materials. Paint should be stored in a ventilated and dry place.In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 storage tank storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3."Adhere to green development, implement basic national policies to conserve resources and protect the environment, and take the goal of creating a resource-saving and environment-friendly iron and steel joint enterprise to promote the construction of ecological civilization.Strengthen the construction of core talents, further release the talents' innovative wisdom and innovation potential, and promote the efficient and high-quality development of enterprises. Adhere to the people-oriented principle, persist in relying on employees for development, share development results with employees, and build a harmonious enterprise."BBN steel strictly control quality of our carbon steel plate, alloy steel plates and structural steel plates. For API standard 650 storage tank ASTM A572 Grade 50 structural steel plate, Our Q/C Department will inspect dimension before shipment, making sure structural steel plate thickness tolerance and width, length tolerance are matchable to the API standard 650 storage tank standard requirements. The company is a good ASTM A572 Grade 50 structural steel plate supplier in the globle market and the head is located in China. Welcome to send us inquiry and questions about structural steel plate.
