Behavior of API 650 anchored tanks

High temperature heat transfer oil fin tube heating device for large API 650 anchored tanks has the advantage of high heat transfer efficiency. The high-temperature heat-conducting oil finned tube heating device adopts high-efficiency outer finned tubes. The outer finned tube coils are immersed in a water bath. Compared with ordinary light tubes, the contact area between the evaporation coils and the medium is increased. The total heat transfer coefficient of the coil is determined by the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube. This increases the heat flux per unit tube length and improves the overall heat transfer efficiency.

API 650 anchored tanks any joints between the adjacent sections of stiffening rings, as shown in Figure R-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joints ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole.

storage tanks API 650 anchored tanks designed in accordance with the rules and guidelines of API 650 are called API 650 storage tanks. API 650 is a control rule for welded storage tanks that work normally in the normal pressure range.
