3004 aluminum rod API Std 650 storage tank

Before pressure test, the main drain hose system of API 650 petroleum storage tank floating roof should be thoroughly flushed. Provide blind flanges, gaskets and bolts required for the API Std 650 storage tank test (other types of covers are also required if necessary). Covers for maintenance shall be provided in accordance with the interfaces specified by API 650 petroleum storage tanks, and these seals shall remain in place after the test; and for those interfaces that are not provided for maintenance covers, the covers can be removed after the API Std 650 storage tank test.

Both parties shall confirm the API Std 650 storage tank material object and the quality of the products, confirm the reasons for the defects and the quality of the products, and sign the quality inspection agreement. Major quality objections shall be reported to relevant leaders in a timely manner, and shall be discussed and solved with the API Std 650 storage tank steel plant.

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.

According to the standard of head of API Std 650 storage tank, there should be no crack, delamination, inclusion and other defects on the groove surface, which is consistent with the steel plate standard. The API Std 650 storage tank head polishing can adopt different technology according to different requirements, including rough polishing, medium polishing and fine polishing. Only the materials used for the third type of pressure vessels must be retested, and the materials used for the first and second class pressure vessels are not generally re inspected.
