A516 grade 380 plates API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

In addition to quality assurance, service is also important for the competition of steel suppliers. All the after-sales service personnel of the company have received professional training and assessment. The steel products supplied by our company enjoy the life-long quality problem replacement service. In the process of using our steel API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks products, if there is any problem, just contact us in time, and our after-sales service personnel will look for countermeasures and solve the problem with you as soon as possible.

The thickness of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

Generally speaking, the duration of the "exhalation" of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks is longer than that of the "inhalation" of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks every day. There are many factors affecting the "small breathing" loss, mainly including the following points: the change of temperature difference between day and night, sunshine time of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks location, open area of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks, atmospheric pressure, filling degree of API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks, etc. When the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks is full of gas, the space volume is small, and the "small breathing" loss is less; if the space volume is large, the loss is also large.
