API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank shipping

The factors that affect the "small breathing" loss of API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank are: 1. Generally, the larger the storage tank is, the larger the total open area is, the larger the evaporation area is, and the greater the "small breathing" loss is; conversely, the smaller the storage tank is, the smaller the evaporation area is and the smaller the "small breathing" loss is. 2. It is related to the atmosphere. The lower the atmospheric pressure is, the greater the "small breathing" loss is; otherwise, the loss is reduced.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 API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.The cultural construction must let the enterprise staff participate in the enterprise culture, in order to better carry on the effective dissemination enterprise idea, the sharing value system, such as the internal communication, the newspaper, the forum, the propaganda, the news announcement and so on. At the same time, the system can also be used to educate and train employees, send blessings to employees on their birthdays or during Chinese New Year holidays, so that employees can feel the practice of corporate culture, the warmth of the enterprise, and enhance the sense of belonging and recognition of the enterprise.The company is mainly engaged in API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank steel plates manufacturing and deep processing, sales and distribution. It is committed to building a complete modern steel purchase and sale network. Here we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our old and new friends who have always given care, support, affirmation and help, and sincerely hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them for mutual benefit, win-win and common development, and work API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank together for a better tomorrow.
