API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks base metal

The reticulated API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks shell API 650 storage tank is an important large-span space structure with high safety. Generally, the large-scale API 650 storage tank with a diameter of 21-60 meters or a volume of more than 20000 cubic meters should adopt the reticulated shell technology, which has been widely promoted and adopted in the world and China's petrochemical industry for more than 30 years.

The safety inspection of atmospheric storage tank, API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks is divided into external inspection, internal and external inspection and comprehensive inspection. External inspection shall be conducted at least once a year, internal and external inspection shall be conducted at least once every three years, and comprehensive inspection shall be conducted at least once every six years. The safety inspection of large atmospheric storage tanks, API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks requires special attention: the parts where the liquid level often fluctuates, the parts that are susceptible to corrosion, and the parts that are deformed and worn during use should be checked.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.
