Materials used in the construction of API 650 cylindrical tanks

Lateral braces between outer bay rafters must be provided if asymmetrical structural shapes are used for rafters and if the API 650 cylindrical tanks API 650 tanks are located in areas subject to earthquakes. The bracing must be adequately sized for the seismic zone specified.

The lip seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 cylindrical tanks relies on the sliding contact between elastic lip and tank wall. This kind of seal has strong applicability, but the requirements of manufacturing technology and material selection are high, and the determination of elastic seal also exists. The secondary seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 cylindrical tanks is to add a seal on the basis of primary seal. It is proved by experiments that the secondary seal can reduce the liquid consumption by more than 50%, and has a more significant effect in safety.

The thickness of the API 650 cylindrical tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.
