Steel plate for shells of API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank
When API 650 storage tank is designed, when the design pressure is small F2 kPa, the impact of air pressure on the API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank tank wall thickness is not considered in the tank wall design.
In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank roof and sidewall.
According to the structure type of floating roof, floating roof API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank can be divided into internal floating roof tank and external floating roof storage tank. The internal floating roof tank is a floating roof tank with tank roof. The top is the combination of dome roof and floating roof, the external is dome roof, and the internal is floating roof. There is no vault on the top of the External floating roof tank, only a top plate floating with the storage liquid. The common feature of the inner floating roof tank and the outer floating roof tank is that both of them can reduce the evaporation loss of the storage liquid.
Company management philosophy: integrity-based, service-oriented, excellence, affinity symbiosis. Based on quality, continuously create maximum value for customers. Always have a grateful heart, thank the society, thank family and friends for their support and help to the development of the company, thank customers for their trust, thank colleagues for their cooperation, and thank competitors for their supervision.
The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
