API Std 650 special tank primary drains

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 special tank 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 special tank ASTM A123, the following accessories shall be hot-dip galvanized. The damaged zinc coating should be repaired with zinc alloy.

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 hot weather in summer brings great security challenges to the vertical oil storage tanks, API Std 650 special tank standing outdoors. We must find some simple and effective methods to protect the API Std 650 special tank in order to make them safely spend the summer. As a API Std 650 special tank manufacturer, in order to reduce the direct sunlight rate of the vertical oil tank, reduce the temperature change of the oil tank, and reduce the evaporation loss of the oil tank, we usually adopt the measures of applying sunscreen paint and washing with warm water.

The company always adheres to the concept of green production, follows the development path of innovation, transformation and improvement, and has carried out in-depth cooperation with Zhengzhou University and other scientific research institutes, planning from a high starting point, strict standard design, and successfully implementing engineering projects With nearly 20 research and development projects, the company's production technology and equipment are at the forefront of the industry, and indicators such as environmental protection, energy consumption, cost, and resource utilization have reached the advanced level in the industry.

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API Std 650 special tank steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API Std 650 special tank steel transportation industry.

We have a professional after-sales service team, the company has developed a clear service process and service standards, after-sales service team members strictly perform after-sales procedures, comply with service standards. The most important thing is that we have set up the correct concept of after-sales service, "customer first, sincere service for users".
