How to limit evaporation of liquid contents from API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank
API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank 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 650 stainless and carbon steel tank 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 650 stainless and carbon steel tank top.
When roof plates, knuckle plates, compression rings, and manways and nozzles including reinforcement are primarily subjected to atmospheric temperature, the rules in API 620 oil tank standard Q.2.3 shall govern.Large Welded storage tanks Secondary ComponentsIn general, secondary components include those components that will not be stressed to a significant level by the refrigerated liquid, those whose failure will not result in leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to product vapors, and those that have a design metal temperature of –60°F or higher.
This standard applies only to API 650 tank API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.
