The roof of API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantages of high safety: the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanksinner floating plate floats on the liquid surface, so that the liquid phase has no evaporation space, which can reduce the evaporation loss by 85% to 90%. At the same time, the API 650 petroleum storage tank blocks the air and liquid storage through the floating disk, which reduces air pollution and reduces the degree of fire risk.

Static storage loss is also known as "small breathing" consumption. The rise and fall of the temperature in the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks leads to the increase and decrease of the pressure in the tank, which makes the mixed oil gas discharged from the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption. Fluid level loss is also called "big breathing" loss. It is the oil consumption caused by the change of gas space volume in the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks during the oil receiving and sending operation, which causes the mixed oil gas to be discharged out of the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption due to the change of liquid level height.

In this project, an area of steel storage oil 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 company has a mature technical team whose reponsibility is to design the drawing, choose suitable material and evaluate the whole production processaccording to customers’ requirement. The company is led by talents and technology, and comprehensively promotes its six business segments like steel material supply, precision steel casting, environmental protection equipment, household appliance, API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks steel structures and oil tank projects. Seeking new developments in new technology and business areas, and fostering a large number of industry-leading, international-level projects.

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.
