API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks drain piping

API 650 stipulates that an open tank should be provided with a wind-resistant ring to ensure that the API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks tank body maintains its roundness when subjected to wind. There are no hard and fast rules for vault API 650 storage tanks. It can be determined by comparing the equivalent wall height with the maximum height of the unreinforced tank wall.

Except as permitted by API standard 620 Q.8.6, the test shall be conducted after the entire tank is complete, before the insulation is applied. Except as limited by foundation or stress conditions, the test shall consist of filling the tank with water to the design liquid level and applying an overload air pressure of 1.25 times the pressure for which the vapor space is designed. The load on the supporting foundation shall preferably not exceed the established allowable bearing value for the tank site. Where a thorough evaluation of the foundation justifies a temporary increase, the established allowable bearing may be increased for the test condition, but the increase shall be not more than 25%.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Based on the principle of “sincerity and win-win cooperation”, our company keeps forging ahead. In the fierce market competition, we have won the trust and rapid development of our customers with good cooperation and sincere service spirit. With pioneering spirit, the pursuit of excellence, continuous learning, and never satisfied content, we will create a win-win situation with our customers to create a better future.

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks steel transportation industry.

Relying on the background of high-quality steel resources and its own strong steel machining capabilities, BBN comany can not only supply various steel material products, such as steel coils, steel plates, API Std 650 ambient temperature tanks sheet, steel pipes, and shaped steels, but also provide a variety of steel deep processing services like cutting, welding and grinding. Through continuous technological innovation and after-sales service optimization, the company has its own world on the domestic and international steel industry stage!
