Erection requirements for API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks
The tank wall design of API 650 oil storage tank. Since there is no ventilation pipe directly connected with the outside on the top of the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks tank, the ventilation between the inside and outside of API 650 oil storage tank is realized by the respiration valve. The constant pressure of the respiration valve is 0.3kPa, so the pressure on the top of the tank is 0.3kPa.
In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks roof and sidewall.
Strictly controlling the temperature in the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.
The company focuses on quality building, continuously create greatest value for customers, and has achieved good economic and social benefits. With strong financial strength, advanced management experience, perfect sales services, strict quality purchase management system and science overall marketing means. We are willing to go hand in hand with you for common development. To be the best service provider for iron & steel products globally is our goal.
In particular, the EU imports a large amount of iron ore from central and South America and Oceania, which are mainly transported by sea. The perfect port infrastructure makes the port operation cost of EU iron ore raw materials import relatively low. However, the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks steel transportation between EU Member States is mainly railway transportation, and the EU member states have established a very developed railway network and railway information infrastructure.
Since its establishment, the company has been deeply supported and loved by customers with its unique business philosophy and business model. The company has always adhered to the tenet of "credibility first, integrity-based, quality first" and sincerely serves new and old customers. At the same time, it keeps pace with the times based on market orientation, continuously expands offline channels, and gradually establishes a complete online E-commerce business management platform. We will always promote our after-sales service to make client satisfied with our goods.
