API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks impact tests

API 650 petroleum storage tank pipeline stress and product pressure, tank pressure, uniform or non-uniform temperature difference between the tank wall and the tank bottom, which cause the radial displacement and longitudinal rotation of the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks tank wall at the opening to affect the oil tank wall The impact is obvious. Therefore, the design must ensure that the load applied by the external pipeline on the opening of the tank wall is within the safety limit. If the stress of the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks connecting piping is not handled properly, the wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank may deform or even rupture, causing a major accident.

Determination of Required Capacity
The aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:
a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).
b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.

The main reason of "small breathing" loss of API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks is the change of atmospheric temperature. When the temperature rises with the increase of solar radiation from dawn, the temperature of oil in the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks also changes, resulting in the acceleration of evaporation speed and the increase of evaporation pressure. When the pressure exceeds the positive pressure rating of the breathing valve, the oil-gas mixture in the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks is discharged into the atmosphere through the breathing valve, which is the "exhalation" process of the oil tank.

Keep in mind your mission and never forget your mission." At present, the BEBON steel leadership team unites the majority of cadres and employees to keep in mind their glorious missions, guided by Xi Jinping's ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, fully implementing the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress, in-depth implementation of the requirements of the "three advances", pioneering spirit, and striving In order to lead high-quality development with innovation, build a new pattern of Anshan Iron and Steel's revitalization and development, strive to build the most internationally influential steel company, and make new contributions to the start of a new journey for BEBON Iron and Steel Group.

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.

Compared with other fast-moving consumer goods, steel consumption is obviously different, with a wide range of use and a long service life. Therefore, the quality and service of steel materials are particularly important. Service is always one of our top concerns, especially after-sales service. We have mature after-sales service team, and can help you solve problems professionally during application of the steel materials.
