API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks fillet weld
In this project a cylindrical tank 75 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 0.5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade B steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less.The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The tank API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks roof is a conical shape with a 2:12 slope and a 1/4 in. thickness with single full-fillet welded lap joints. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of juncture of the roof and sidewall.
Determination of API 650 oil tank container: The total volume should be determined according to factors such as transportation mode and API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks fuel supply cycle. For train and ship transportation, the maximum consumption is not less than 20-30 days; the maximum consumption for automobile transportation is not less than 5-10 days.
The preparatory work before the construction of the API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks is an important part of the oil tank project. Material purchase preparation before the construction of the API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks:Before API Std 650 aluminum storage tanks 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.
