The net working capacity of API Std 650 horizontal tank

The elastic filling and sealing of floating roof API Std 650 horizontal tank is to fill the elastic and changeable objects in the sealed envelope, and the sealing purpose depends on the compression deformation of the filler. This kind of sealing effect is good, the requirement of the geometry of tank wall is not too high, and the adaptability is strong. However, the elastic filling and sealing has poor wear resistance and is easy to deform and damage in long-term use.

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

The welded API 650 tank in various sizes and capacities for internal pressures approximating atmospheric pressure (internal pressures not exceeding the weight of the roof plates), but a higher internal pressure API Std 650 horizontal tank is permitted when additional requirements are met.

Safety production is the cornerstone of enterprise survival and development. The company established a safety management network, which achieved clear powers and responsibilities, clear responsibilities, effective management and control, and provided organizational guarantee for safe production.
