A537 class 1 plates API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks

The horizontal projection of the roof plate within the compression-ring region is 4.9 x 0.866 = 4.25 in., which fulfills the requirement of API 620 tank standard 5.12.5.1. The required area and horizontal projection can be provided by any of the standard angles listed in Table F-3.
Any of these angles may be used in accordance with the details of Figure 5-6, detail a or b, but if details c, h, or i in Figure 5-6 were intended, the net area of the angle must be calculated by deducting the area expected to be lost by corrosion from that part of the angle surface that is exposed to the interior of the tank.

Compared with the fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank without API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks floating roof, there is no evaporation space. In principle, this eliminates the so-called "large breathing loss". Evaporation not only causes the loss of product quantity, but also affects the quality of API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks product and pollutes the environment.

Define the welding sequence of API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks bottom plate: the welding sequence of metal vertical storage tank shall be carried out according to the procedure required by the welding scheme. Spot welding shall be consistent with the formal welding requirements, and no spot welding shall be carried out for the weld not welded. Back bar should be added to prevent deformation when welding the full length seam of middle plate, butt joint of edge plate and turtle shell joint.
