Design of foundations for API 650 carbon steel tank

Oil tank is an important equipment for oil storage. The common API 650 carbon steel tank is composed of foundation, bottom plate, wall plate, top plate and accessories. The types of oil tank are various, which can be divided according to the characteristics of material, installation position, storage oil, use, appearance, structure and volume of oil tank. The commonly used materials of metal oil tank are stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.

Density of API 650 carbon steel tank Liquid Stored
The density of the liquid stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 29.3 lbf/ft3 for methane, 34.21 lbf/ft3 for ethane, and 35.5 lbf/ft3 for ethylene.
Design Metal Temperature
The design metal temperature of each component exposed to the liquid or vapor being stored shall be the lower of the temperatures specified as follows: The design metal temperature of the components of the API 620 single-wall tank or the inner tank of a double-wall tank shall be the minimum temperature to which the tank contents shall be refrigerated, including the effect of subcolony at reduced pressure."

While GB50341 generally takes the weld coefficient as 0.9;When the minimum yield strength of API 650 carbon steel tank steel plate is greater than 390 MPa, take 0.85. The thickness of API 650 tanks is generally smaller than that of GB50341, and this difference is particularly evident in the design of large tanks, where the overall weight of the tanks varies greatly.

Group consciousness is an important psychological factor for the formation of enterprise internal cohesion. The formation of API 650 carbon steel tank enterprise group consciousness makes every employee of the enterprise regard their work and behavior as an integral part of the realization of enterprise goals, make them feel proud of themselves as a member of the enterprise, have a sense of honor for the achievements of the enterprise, and thus regard the API 650 carbon steel tank enterprise as the community and belonging of their own interests.
