A573 grade 450 plates API Std 650 cylindrical tanks

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API Std 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 Std 650 cylindrical tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

The API 650 oil tank stiffener ring and backing strip, if used, are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of R.2.1. The API Std 650 cylindrical tanks stiffener ring may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange. One rat hole with a minimum radius of 3/4 in. shall be provided at each longitudinal shell joint and ring juncture weld.

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API Std 650 cylindrical tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API Std 650 cylindrical tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.
