API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks special considerations

Suggested Practice Regarding Installation of Low-pressure storage tanks
Access: All openings and accessories for tanks API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks constructed according to this standard shall be installed so that any periodic inspections required can be readily made.
Corrosion: When a tank bottom rests directly on the ground, a survey shall be made to establish the need for cathodic protection.
Drainage: All tanks in which water might accumulate under the hydrocarbon contents shall be provided with adequate drains that are suitably protected from freezing.

The tank wall design of API 650 oil storage tank. Since there is no ventilation pipe directly connected with the outside on the top of the API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks tank, the ventilation between the inside and outside of API 650 oil storage tank is realized by the respiration valve. The constant pressure of the respiration valve is 0.3kPa, so the pressure on the top of the tank is 0.3kPa.

our company offered 2950 ton A36 steel API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks plate to Philippines customer, which was used to build water supply project. It is the government project. The procurement with their project engineer come to China to discuss this project in middle of 2016. After checking the mill, they signed the contract with us. we supply the ASTM A36 Original Mill Test Certificate Stamped.

Requirements for prefabrication of bottom plate of large vertical API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks:
1. The diameter of tank bottom should be enlarged by 0.1% ~ 0.15% according to the design diameter.
2. The minimum dimension of edge plate along the radius direction of tank bottom shall not be less than 700mm.
3. The distance between any adjacent welds of the base plate shall not be less than 300 mm.
