API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks roof support legs sleeves

The horizontal projection of the roof plate within the compression-ring region is 4.9 x 0.866 = 4.25 in., which fulfills the requirement of API 620 tank standard 5.12.5.1. The required area and horizontal projection can be provided by any of the standard angles listed in Table F-3.
Any of these angles may be used in accordance with the details of Figure 5-6, detail a or b, but if details c, h, or i in Figure 5-6 were intended, the net area of the angle must be calculated by deducting the area expected to be lost by corrosion from that part of the angle surface that is exposed to the interior of the tank.

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.

With the continuous development of large-scale oil storage tanks, the foundation of API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks has also continued to grow. Among them, API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks vertical oil tanks are storage tanks commonly used to store crude oil, diesel, gasoline and other oil materials. This type of storage tank is set up as a cylindrical shape. The bottom of the tank is a circular flat bottom plate, and the load surface of the oil tank is basically horizontal, which can generally be regarded as a uniform load, and has greater flexibility.
