Low-pressure storage tanks for Liquefied Hydrocarbon GasesAPI Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks Primary Components: In general, primary components include those components that may be stressed to a significant level, those whose failure would permit leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to a refrigerated temperature between –60°F and –270°F, and those that are subject to thermal shock. The primary components shall include, but will not be limited to, the following parts of a single-wall tank or of the inner tank in a double-wall tank: shell plates; bottom plates; roof plates; knuckle plates; compression rings; shell stiffeners; and manways and nozzles including reinforcement, shell anchors, pipe, tubing, forgings, and bolting.
The outer layer of API 650 tank is glass fiber reinforced plastic layer with a thickness of more than 2.5mm, which API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks has strong corrosion resistance and electric corrosion resistance. Special process technology is used between the two layers to make the gap reach 0.1 mm, so as to eliminate the existence of potential safety hazard from the root.
The main advantages of the external floating roof API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks are large storage capacity, suitable for storing more than 10000 cubic meters of crude oil. Compared with the internal floating roof API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks, the production of external floating roof API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks is simple and the steel consumption is less. However, the central drainage system of external floating roof API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks should be installed on the outer floating roof to ensure that the accumulated water can be discharged smoothly in rainy and snowy days, and avoid sinking accident.
