EN S275J2 plates API Std 650 larger diameter tanks
Cylindrical Oil storage tanks Discharge PipesWhen a discharge pipe is used on the outlet side of such relieving devices, its area shall be not less than the area of the valve outlet, or if a single pipe provides for discharge from several relief devices, its area shall be not less than the aggregate area of the valve outlets. The API Std 650 larger diameter tanks discharge pipe shall be fitted with an open drain to prevent water or other liquids from lodging in the discharge side of the valves.Discharge pipes shall be supported so that no undue stress is placed on the valve body. Open discharges shall be placed and oriented so that the outflow is directed away from the tank and will not create a hazard over walkways, stairways, or operating platforms.
These API 650 documents will define the bases of design, operation, inspection, tests, examinations, and maintenance of an API Std 650 larger diameter tanks industrial facility. Bidders will study and analyze all this API 650 documentation, both during the preparation of the quotation and during the execution of each project activity.
API Std 650 larger diameter tanks Drain hole: The drain hole is generally installed at the bottom of the oil tank, used to remove sludge when cleaning the oil tank, and usually used to drain the sewage in the tank. API Std 650 larger diameter tanks Safety valve: The role of the safety valve is to play a safety role when the breathing valve fails during the operation of the oil tank. Its working pressure is slightly higher than the pressure of the breathing valve, which can prevent the tank from being damaged due to the high positive or negative pressure in the tank. The safety valve is usually installed in the middle of the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks top.
