ASTM A27 grade 65-35 floating roofs API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks

When talking about our team, it is hard not to mention our QC department (Quality Control). We have built strict qualitycontrol system to guarantee the steel quality. During the steel materials production, we have strict monitoring measures and indicators, and ensure no chemical composition, mechnical properties and so on technical problems for the steel materials API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks. After production, our QC department will conduct another inspection regarding to the steel quantity, dimension, mark and so on points before delivery.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.Before pressure testing, thoroughly flush the API 650 tank floating roof primary drain hose system. Supply API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks blind flanges, gaskets, and bolting (for other types of blanking covers as may be required) necessary for testing.Insist on the spirit of development and indomitable entrepreneurship; the spirit of leading science and technology and striving for first-class affairs; the spirit of strict management and market development; the spirit of taking the lead in setting an example and selfless dedication; and the spirit of people-oriented and enterprise ownership.The main contents of safety inspection for atmospheric storage tank, API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks are to see whether the tank foundation is sunk, whether the tank is corroded, whether there are cracks in the tank body and bottom, whether there is concave convex phenomenon on the top and wall of the tank, whether the accessories of the storage tank are in good condition, etc. After the API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks safety inspection and detection, the defects found in the tank should be handled according to the inspection rules in time to ensure the normal and safe use of the storage tank in the later stage.
