5456 aluminum shapes API 650 self-anchored storage tanks

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API 650 self-anchored storage tanks are: 1. It is related to the change of temperature difference between day and night. The greater the change of temperature difference between day and night, the greater the loss of "small breathing"; on the contrary, the smaller the change of temperature difference between day and night, the smaller the loss. 2. It is related to the sunshine time of the oil storage tank. The longer the sunshine, the more the "small breathing" loss; otherwise, the less the loss.

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.

Company management philosophy: integrity-based, service-oriented, excellence, affinity symbiosis. Based on quality, continuously create maximum value for customers. Always have a grateful heart, thank the society, thank family and friends for their support and help to the development of the company, thank customers for their trust, thank colleagues for their cooperation, and thank competitors for their supervision.

Under the action of the earthquake, API 650 storage tank is mainly damaged by the phenomenon of the lower part of the API 650 self-anchored storage tanks tank wall. Therefore, the key point of seismic calculation is to prevent the tank wall from buckling under axial pressure.
