Erection of API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank

The floating roof is the top cover floating on the liquid level, so the sealing performance of API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank API 650 oil storage tank is very important. The floating plate mainly adopts elastic packing, and at the same time, it is compressed with the wall of API 650 oil storage tank with pressure strip around, and fixed with the floating plate with bolts. After the API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank floating plate is lowered to a certain position of about 1.8m, a prop will support the floating plate to keep it in position.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank. The soil endurance in the API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank construction area plays a decisive role in the basic cost of the tank. In areas with high soil resistance, not only the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced, but also the ratio of height to diameter of storage tank can be obtained. Therefore, the investment cost of the API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API standard 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.
