A516 Gr 415 plates API standard 650 cylindrical tanks
The API Std 650 standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) is designed to provide the petroleum industry with welded steel tanks for use in the API standard 650 cylindrical tanks storage of petroleum products and other liquid products commonly handled and stored by the various branches of the petroleum industry.
The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 cylindrical tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API standard 650 cylindrical tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
API Standard 620 tank Appendix C describes the factors involved in obtaining adequate foundations for tanks that operate at atmospheric temperature. The foundations for refrigerated tanks are complicated because of the thermal movement of the tank, the insulation required for the bottom, the effects of foundation freezing and possible frost heaving, and the anchorage required to resist uplift. The services of a qualified foundation engineer are essential. Experience with tanks in the area may provide sufficient data, but normally a thorough investigation, including soil tests, would be required for proper design of the foundation.
Our after sales department is an very important part of our department structures. After the customer receive steel materials, our after sales department will follow up regularly and solve problems for them in time if they have the needs. We romise to return the goods for free for its lifetime if it is quality of the steel material itself. Meanwhile, if you have any advice or complaints, also welcome to feed back to our after sales department, and we are trying to give better service to you.
In the process of API standard 650 cylindrical tanks steel transportation, enterprises often use railway transportation, highway transportation, water transportation and other ways to transport. According to the cargo owner's requirements on the timeliness of the goods and the different transportation routes, our company will choose API standard 650 cylindrical tanks different modes of transportation. According to the specific needs of customers, or specify the mode of transportation.
