API standard 650 welded tanks for oil storage roof plates

This standard establishes minimum requirements for API 650 tank material, API standard 650 welded tanks for oil storage design, fabrication, erection, and inspection for ertical. aboveground,closed- and open-top.

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 main contents of safety inspection for atmospheric storage tank, API standard 650 welded tanks for oil storage are to see whether the tank foundation is sunk, whether the tank is corroded, whether there are cracks in the tank body and bottom, whether there is concave convex phenomenon on the top and wall of the tank, whether the accessories of the storage tank are in good condition, etc. After the API standard 650 welded tanks for oil storage safety inspection and detection, the defects found in the tank should be handled according to the inspection rules in time to ensure the normal and safe use of the storage tank in the later stage.

Company management philosophy: integrity-based, service-oriented, excellence, affinity symbiosis. Based on quality, continuously create maximum value for customers. Always have a grateful heart, thank the society, thank family and friends for their support and help to the development of the company, thank customers for their trust, thank colleagues for their cooperation, and thank competitors for their supervision.

Ningbo port has trade and transportation with more than 50 countries and regions, such as the United States, CIS countries, Europe, Africa, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Hong Kong. Ningbo port has initially formed an all-round three-dimensional collection and distribution network of expressways, railways, aviation, river sea intermodal transport, water to water transfer, etc.

The after-sales service department will pay return visit to each customer by call or email, report problems found during the return visit in time, and discuss with the production and quality inspection center to propose effective solutions and follow up in a timely manner, so as to ensure the benefits each customer are fully guaranteed, and to provide customers with more value-added services.
