API Std 650 larger diameter tanks bottom joints

API 650 Application As described by the American Petroleum Institute, the fabrication and installation of our surface welded API Std 650 larger diameter tanks steel storage tanks is normally used in industrial applications. In general, our standards for industrial on-site installation of storage tanks are established according to API 650, API 620 and API 12D.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 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.

The results of adopting two-level API Std 650 larger diameter tanks service system and implementing standardized management are mainly reflected in the formation of vigorous work style such as quick response and quick action. Our company's customer service center stipulates that employees must be accurate and quick in technical support and API Std 650 larger diameter tanks after-sales service. Through the formation of this fast, agile, vigorous style, to provide users with satisfactory service.

The company's logistics uses third-party logistics. This logistics model plays an important role in improving the efficiency of our business operations. Third-party logistics is an important form of logistics specialization. As a company specializing in logistics, third-party logistics companies have a wealth of experts who specialize in logistics operations, which is conducive to ensuring the professional production of the company, reducing costs, and improving logistics level of the company. Both the customers and the company benefit from the logystics mode.
