API standard 650 SUG I tanks threaded connections

Selection of nominal diameter D of API 650 storage tank. In the design calculation of API 650 storage tank, the bottom plate thickness is the net plate thickness, that is, the actual thickness minus the corrosion allowance. In the design and calculation of API standard 650 SUG I tanks wall thickness in hydrostatic test, the thickness of bottom plate is the total thickness of steel plate.

When encountering heavy rain or continuous heavy rainfall, the safe operation of API standard 650 SUG I tanks will be affected. For example: the API standard 650 SUG I tanks is submerged, the oil unloading valve and the flame arrester valve are broken by water and the oil tank leaks. The oil tank area must do emergency work to prevent rainstorm to ensure the safety of the oil tank. Here are some safety protection measures for API standard 650 SUG I tanks in heavy rain.

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.
