Simplified analysis of API Std 650 ground supported tanks

The foundation design of the API Std 650 ground supported tanks should meet the requirements of foundation stability and deformation, that is, the API Std 650 ground supported tanks foundation should not be crushed and the uneven settlement value of the foundation should be within the allowable range. The uneven settlement of the storage tank foundation should be specified in the design process of the safe allowable range, because excessive uneven settlement will reduce the safety of the API Std 650 ground supported tanks and cause distortion and deformation of the tank wall and bottom plate.

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API Std 650 ground supported tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.

Selection of nominal diameter D of API 650 storage tank. In the design calculation of API 650 storage tank, the bottom plate thickness is the net plate thickness, that is, the actual thickness minus the corrosion allowance. In the design and calculation of API Std 650 ground supported tanks wall thickness in hydrostatic test, the thickness of bottom plate is the total thickness of steel plate.

The formula of enterprise success is: success = strategy × organizational capability, that is, having the right direction and strong organizational capability. The core competence of an enterprise depends on three pillars: first, talents (talent echelon); second, core values of enterprise culture; third, organizational governance model. If the enterprise is a tree, then the core values of talents, corporate culture and organizational governance mode are just like the root of the tree. With them, the enterprise will flourish and grow forever.
