ASTM A36 plates API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks

This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks design, supply fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached datasheets and/or drawings.

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.

When welding API Std 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks, in order to avoid weld deformation, it is necessary to use corresponding welding process according to the type of steel used in the tank, such as welding requirements of steel plate, welding position, etc. Reasonable arrangement of the assembly sequence, the use of subsection back welding and jump welding method, strict control of welding process parameters, rigid fixation measures, take corrective measures for deformation compensation are necessary.

Do a good job of thought introduction based on people. Human based management is the most important link in standardizing employee behavior management. In daily behavior management, we should establish the central position of human and play an important role of human. Employees are not only the builders and exercisers of corporate culture, but also the executors of code of conduct. The code of conduct should be finally implemented into the thoughts and actions of employees.

BBN company has implemented a resource strategy combining global resource procurement, domestic resource unified purchase, and joint purchase and distribution. It has maintained good relations of cooperation with more than 100 domestic and foreign steel mills, and can purchase low-quality and high-quality steel futures in all directions and through multiple channels. The company can grasp the specifications and quantities of the spot resources of major steel mills in real time, and can timely and quickly meet customer demand for steel spot resources.

The company's after-sales service tenet is "customer first, timely guarantee, enthusiastic service and effective work". In order to establish a set of perfect after-sales service system and strict management system, so that the after-sales service can be effectively guaranteed. The company has set up after-sales service department to ensure timely, unique and effective response to every user's request, coordinate internal resources internally, and put an end to all evasion and delay.
