API Std 650 liquid storage tanks problem solution

According to API standard 650, the stairs used for API 650 petroleum storage tanks or thermal insulation tanks should be double longitudinal beams supported by a minimum of ribs. If the gap between the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks tank shell and the stringer of the API 650 petroleum storage tank exceeds 200mm, handrails should be provided on both sides of the stairs. Unless otherwise specified, according to API Std 650 liquid storage tanks ASTM A123, the following accessories shall be hot-dip galvanized. The damaged zinc coating should be repaired with zinc alloy.

Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API Std 650 liquid storage tanks is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API Std 650 liquid storage tanks should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.

Design of Compression-ring Regions
In this project, a cylindrical tank 30 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade A steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less. The top course of the butt- welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick, including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The tank API Std 650 liquid storage tanks roof is a butt-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 30 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in., including a 1/16 in. corrosion allowance. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the roof and sidewall.

The company's sales department has a professional team, they have professional steel knowledge, respond quickly, with the problems raised by customers can quickly give solutions, put the interests of customers first. With their own professional knowledge to provide customers with high-quality steel plate in line with the requirements. At the same time, in terms of price, we also have great advantages. Members of the business department make sure that the delivery time is short and the service is the best.

Japan is a typical shipping first, and its raw materials are imported from Oceania, central and South America and other Asian countries. Most of the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks steel produced is exported to China and other Asian countries, and a small amount is exported to America. Shipping is the main way of its API Std 650 liquid storage tanks steel international transportation. According to the data, steel goods account for about 20% of the total sea freight in Japan. The domestic transportation of Japanese steel is mainly truck.
