Construction requirements for API 650 closed top welded storage tanks
The cone slope of the completed API 650 closed top welded storage tanks foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API 650 closed top welded storage tanks should have at least 4 detection tubes.The tank 20-in. inside-diameter nozzle shown in Figure F-6 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 148 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 11/2 in. A corrosion allowance of 0.10 in. is required on all surfaces of the tank exposed to the stored liquid. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the center of the opening is 24.9 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the API 650 closed top welded storage tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 1.44 in.Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:1. API 650 closed top welded storage tanks Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃~150℃;3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.We provide customers with demand support and better serve them.
