API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank vacuum testing

In this project, an area of 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 problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

API 650 internal floating roof API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank tank can be used to store gasoline, jet fuel and other volatile oil products, as well as aldehydes, alcohols (methanol, ethanol), ketones (acetone), benzene (benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene) and other liquid chemicals.

We supply 3500 tons SA387GR5CL1 steel plates to Pakistan. The main businesses of the Pakistan customer are manufacturing columns & towers, heat exchanger, waste heat recovery boiler, pressure vessel & reactors, tanks, etc. We arranged SGS test for the SA387GR5CL1 steel plates. The test contents include chemical composition analysis, tensile test, impact test, etc. The test results are satisfied. The Pakistan customer gave good feedback after receiving the SA387GR5CL1 steel plates.

The most popular standards for API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

From the order to the delivery, there are three quality inspections to ensure that the qualified rate of finished products is more than 100%. We promise that every order will be tracked in a timely manner to ensure that customers can receive goods safely and constantly listen to their opinions and suggestions, reflect on our own problems, and let customers feel at ease. We have a large warehouse in Shanghai and Tianjin, which can provide customers with sufficient sources of supply.
