API Std 650 uplifting tanks height

API Std 650 uplifting tanks Liquid Relief ValvesA tank, which is likely to operate completely filled with liquid, shall be equipped with one or more liquid relief valves at the top of the roof, unless otherwise protected against overpressure. When such valves are, in effect, supplementary relief devices, they may be set at a pressure not greater than 1.25 times the design pressure. Because the relief valve at the pump, which provides the inflow of liquid to the tank, is set at a pressure greater than 1.25 times the design pressure of any tank that may be built under these rules, provision should be made for preventing overfilling of the tank by a self-closing float valve, by some practicable pilot-valve control, or by any other proven device.

API 650 is used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API Std 650 uplifting tanks API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', which are suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other projects.

API Std 650 uplifting tanks Oil measuring hole: The oil measuring hole is used to measure the height, temperature and sampling of the oil stored in the tank, and is installed near the tank top platform. API Std 650 uplifting tanks Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguisher (also known as the flame arrestor) of the oil tank is composed of a fire box, a copper wire mesh and an aluminum partition. It is installed under the breathing valve or safety valve to prevent sparks and air from entering the inside of the tank through the breathing valve or safety valve and causing accidents.
