API Std 650 larger diameter tanks recommendation

Similarities between API 650 and API 620 tanks Both tanks are used for storage purposes. Both API 620 and API 650 containers API Std 650 larger diameter tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature).

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.

Inspection of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks bottom: magnetic flux leakage scanning technology is used to detect the corrosion condition of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks bottom plate (such as corrosion depth and area, crack length, etc.). When there is a defect in the bottom plate of the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks, the magnetic field distribution will change and the sensor can detect it. The bottom of the oil tank should be free of foreign matters and dry during testing. Weld inspection of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks bottom plate: when vacuum leak test method is used to detect the tightness of oil tank bottom plate, soap water shall be applied to the weld and vacuum box shall be covered for observation.
