CSA G40.21 plates API Std 650 unanchored tanks

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 8000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, 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.

This API 650 tank standard does not present orstablish a fixed series of allowable tank sizes: instead, it s intended to permit the purchaser to select whatever size API Std 650 unanchored tanks tank may best meet his needs.

This customer is a leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction company serving the Hydrocarbon and Chemical industries spanning Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Refining, Fertilizer and related sectors in India. The A335 Grade P5 Steel Pipe and P9 API Std 650 unanchored tanks Seamless Steel Pipe we supplied is for EIL refineries project.

The bottom plate of the vertical API Std 650 unanchored tanks directly contacts with the foundation soil, which is suitable for the flexible foundation, and its settlement characteristics are quite different from that of the rigid foundation. For the settlement calculation of the foundation of a vertical API Std 650 unanchored tanks, the one-way compression layered sum method can be used. The calculation method is to divide the foundation soil into several layers of compression within the calculation depth of the foundation settlement, and then find the sum. The calculation method of the compression amount of each layer is the same as the calculation method of the compression amount under the condition of no lateral deformation.
