API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks maximum slenderness ratios

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

The tank wall design of API 650 oil storage tank. Since there is no ventilation pipe directly connected with the outside on the top of the API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks tank, the ventilation between the inside and outside of API 650 oil storage tank is realized by the respiration valve. The constant pressure of the respiration valve is 0.3kPa, so the pressure on the top of the tank is 0.3kPa.

On August 29th Clients from Senegal visited us-Zhengzhou office and wanted to know more about BBN to build a long relationship.

Inspection of weld and micro crack of API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks: the inner and outer surface of API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks, weld and heat affected zone shall be observed by naked eyes first. 100% ultrasonic testing or 100% penetrant testing are carried out for butt welds of API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks. For the defects found by 100% magnetic particle inspection, dye detection, 100% ultrasonic inspection or 100% penetrant inspection, the radiographic inspection shall be used again to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
