lpg storage tank longitudinal welded joints in piping

How to effectively increase the service life of lpg storage tank oil tanks? It is necessary to check and inspect the oil tank regularly in the process of use, and do a good job in the maintenance and cleaning of the oil tank. The oil tank should be inspected every 6 years. With the increase of service life, the inspection interval should be shortened. Daily maintenance and cleaning of the lpg storage tank can prolong the service life of the oil tank. The maintenance of the lpg storage tank mainly includes the anti-corrosion inspection of the oil tank, the maintenance of the accessories, and the cleaning of the sediment in the tank.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.

API 650 storage tank, double-layer oil tank environmental protection advantages: ordinary single-layer steel lpg storage tank oil tank is corroded by underground water and gas and electrolytic corrosion because it is buried underground all year round. The API 650 tank has a double-layer structure with a gap of 0.1 mm. The lpg storage tank outer layer of FRP ensures that the leakage will not directly leak into the soil and water source.

In December of 2015, our regular India customer sent us an inquiry for lpg storage tank pipe. The inquiry requires no negative tolerance in both pipes’ outer diameter and pipe wall. After two weeks’ discussion, he put the order of 275 tons to us. The pipes are finished within just one month. Our customer come to our factory to inspect the quality and tolerance, all the products are well meet his demand. The pipes are arriving to Nhava Sheva port, customer is very happy with our products and service during the process.
