5086 aluminum tube API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank

The safety inspection of atmospheric storage tank, API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank is divided into external inspection, internal and external inspection and comprehensive inspection. External inspection shall be conducted at least once a year, internal and external inspection shall be conducted at least once every three years, and comprehensive inspection shall be conducted at least once every six years. The safety inspection of large atmospheric storage tanks, API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank requires special attention: the parts where the liquid level often fluctuates, the parts that are susceptible to corrosion, and the parts that are deformed and worn during use should be checked.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. 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 8000 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.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.

The company regularly holds sales elites to share experiences, to promote the rapid growth of colleagues, and achieve the company and employees. The company conducts employee skill training and related knowledge video learning from time to time. All these things is to improve the employees' skills and literacy, and reflects its own value. It has always been the pursuit of BBN steel to enhance the employee’s ability and keep up with the times.

Upon completion of API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank construction, provide Purchase with a Vendor's Certification that the tank conforms to the requirements of API 650 and to the additional requirements as specified.
