API standard 650 SUG III tanks anchor straps

For the welding of API standard 650 SUG III tanks bottom, attention should be paid to the slag removal and drying of the welding joint before welding, and there is no sediment and oil contamination in the lap joint of steel plate. The manufacturing quality and production efficiency of the central plate can be obviously improved by adopting the rolling central plate. The butt joint is used between the rolling plates to improve the installation conditions of the central plate at the bottom of the API standard 650 SUG III tanks. The welding sequence of the central plate is from the center of the central plate to the surrounding.

When the API standard 650 SUG III tanks top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

In API 650 oil storage tank, when the mixing ratio of combustible medium and air reaches a certain limit, it is easy to cause explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to add API standard 650 SUG III tanks external floating roof to open cylindrical steel API standard 650 SUG III tanks tank. At present, the external floating roof is most suitable for large-scale API 650 oil storage tank in China, ranging from 20000, 30000, 50000 cubic meters to 100000 cubic meters.
