Fixed roof API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

Compared with the fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank without API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks floating roof, there is no evaporation space. In principle, this eliminates the so-called "large breathing loss". Evaporation not only causes the loss of product quantity, but also affects the quality of API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks product and pollutes the environment.

The most popular standards for API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

Determination of Required Capacity
The aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:
a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).
b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.

In line with the service concept of "honesty first, customer first" and the service tenet of "all for customer satisfaction", the company adopts the acceptance and response mode of combining manual and automatic, and accepts the diversified service demands of customer business consultation, complaint declaration, business acceptance, etc. through telephone, fax, e-mail, visit, letter, etc.

The company's logistics adopts the method of cooperation with logistics companies. As a third-party logistics company is engaged in the operation of multiple logistics projects, it can integrate various logistics resources, making the logistics operation cost relatively low and the logistics operations more efficient. Thus we can provide more professional logistics services, while also focusing on our core business of steel materials.
