5254 aluminum pipe API standard 650 SUG III tanks

API 650 "welded storage tanks" API standard 650 SUG III tanks is a standard developed and issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API), which specifies the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture, installation and inspection of welded storage tanks.

Management information and high efficiency. Because of the rapid flow of API standard 650 SUG III tanks goods, container multimodal transport and "door-to-door" transport, it is required that the port must have a modern information network, so that it can have the comprehensive capabilities of all-weather access, rapid loading and unloading, customs clearance, collection, distribution, storage and transportation

The inner and outer tanks may be decoupled for seismic design of the tank and anchorage and assumed to act independently. However, if the inner and outer tanks API standard 650 SUG III tanks are supported by a common foundation, the seismic foundation loading shall be calculated using the lesser response modification values for either the inner tank or outer tank for both tanks and a dynamic analysis shall be performed to determine the combined effect.
Allowable Stresses: For Appendix R tanks, design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large low pressure storage tank, Section R.3.3.

API standard 650 SUG III tanks Breathing valve: The function of the oil tank breathing valve is to adjust the oil and gas pressure in the tank. When the pressure in the tank is too high, part of the excess oil and gas will be discharged through the breathing valve to reduce the pressure in the tank; when the pressure in the tank is too low, through breathing The valve sucks in air from the outside of the tank to increase the pressure in the tank and keep it constant with the atmospheric pressure. The breathing valve is usually installed at the top of the oil tank.
