API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks shell reinforcing plates

The interior of API 650 storage tanks to be internally lined or coated must have all edges rounded to a minimum of 3 mm radius. Internal welds must be completely seal welded, ground smooth, and free from API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.

API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks, floating roof tank is composed of vertical cylindrical tank wall and floating roof, which is floating on the surface of liquid storage. The volume of floating roof storage tank is generally large, and its bottom plate is arched edge plate. The difference between floating roof tank and other types of storage tank is that there is a floating top cover floating on the surface of liquid storage, and the top cover floats up and down with the rise and fall of liquid storage.

Design of Reinforcement for Single Openings in Tank Walls
The 20 in. x 29 in. obround manhole shown in Figure F-5 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 45 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 1/2 in. No corrosion allowance is required. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the horizontal centerline of the opening is 27.5 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.485 in. The manhole neck is fabricated by welding from 3/8 in. plate. The materials in the API 620 tank wall, the manhole neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A516 Grade 60. The joints in the welded steel storage oil tank wall and the longitudinal joint or joints in the manhole neck are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The company's logistics team adheres to the development concept of “gathering advantages, providing superior services, creating value, and leading the market”, and tightly focuses on the strategic positioning of “developing large-scale steel logistics and building large-scale steel supermarkets”. Facing the whole country and integrating into the world to build an "one center, one network" international circulation system. Through the development of 5-10 years, it is expected to form a modern steel industry with annual operating income exceeding 2.5 billion yuan.
