Quality inspection of API standard 650 ground supported tanks

Density of API standard 650 ground supported tanks Liquid Stored
The density of the liquid stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 29.3 lbf/ft3 for methane, 34.21 lbf/ft3 for ethane, and 35.5 lbf/ft3 for ethylene.
Design Metal Temperature
The design metal temperature of each component exposed to the liquid or vapor being stored shall be the lower of the temperatures specified as follows: The design metal temperature of the components of the API 620 single-wall tank or the inner tank of a double-wall tank shall be the minimum temperature to which the tank contents shall be refrigerated, including the effect of subcolony at reduced pressure.

The inner layer of API 650 tank is the same as that of single layer tank. It is made of high-quality steel plate in strict accordance with the standard of "steel welded atmospheric pressure vessel". The thickness of API standard 650 ground supported tanks steel plate reaches the standard and the service life is longer.

The structure of the API standard 650 ground supported tanks foundation mainly includes the insulating anticorrosion layer on the top surface of the foundation, the tank wall support, the edge retaining structure, the sand cushion, the oil and water barrier, the detection signal tube and other structures. The construction materials and requirements of each basic structure of the storage tank are different. After the structure of the API standard 650 ground supported tanks foundation is built in accordance with the construction requirements, the settlement of the storage tank foundation needs to be observed, and the uneven settlement value of the storage tank foundation should be within the allowable safety range.
