ASTM A36 structural shapes API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks

This API 650 tank standard is designed to provide industry with tanks of adequate safety and reasonable economy for use in the API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks storage of petroleum, petroleum products. and other liquid products.

To scientifically evaluate the remaining service life of the API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks, it is necessary to know the thickness change and development trend of the storage tank sheet after long-term use, combined with the metal characteristics of the storage tank, the influence of various external conditions and the continuous change of the oil pressure in the API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks, etc. factors to judge. Because the metal characteristics, corrosion defects, load and other numerical parameters of the API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks are randomly changed, the value of the remaining service life of the storage tank will also be dynamic.

In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks roof and sidewall.

The company has five major departments: steel plate production department (including quality inspection team), sales department, market development department, after-sales and logistics department, and finance department. The backbone of steel business from all over the country, with the chairman as the core, integrates self-confidence, independence, passion and responsibility, and strives for excellence! All people share the same belief: "Being a refined steel product line rewards customers, strengthen the steel industry, and realize the corporate dream!

Box making, door-to-door: fill in the packing plan: box making time, ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, door point, contact person, telephone number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date). Internal loading: fill in the packing plan: ship name, voyage number, customs declaration number, transfer port, destination port, gross weight, number of pieces, volume, cabin number, etc., and arrange the train shift 1-2 days before the closing date (two days before the ship's date).
