API Std 650 tanks joint penetration

Generally, the snow load in the API Std 650 tanks construction area should be considered before the design and construction of the tank. The snow load in the API Std 650 tanks construction area has an impact on the tank roof design and operation, especially in the area with large snow load, the roof load of large storage tank with large diameter increases. Anti freezing, heat preservation and waterproof measures shall be taken for the additional facilities of storage tanks, such as pumps, breathing valves, flame arresters, detection instruments and thermal insulation layers.In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. 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 6000 lbf/in.2.The API 650 is the American standard for welded flat-bottomed vertical API Std 650 tanks storage tanks. This standard dictates tank design, manufacture, welding, inspection and installation requirements."Hard and solid, honest commitment, practical effect". To strive for a solid enterprise foundation with hard work style; to promise first-class enterprise service with honest faith; to create efficient enterprise performance with practical spirit.Our company has strict quality control standards. If you want to visit our factory, you are welcome at any time! We produce a lot of steel products every month to export API Std 650 tanks to all over the world. Because our customers are from all countries, they will order a large number of steel products from our company every month.
