A662 Gr C plates API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

Compared with the fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank without API 650 self-anchored 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 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks product and pollutes the environment.

In 2015, we offered 230 tons 309S and 310S stainless steel API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks plate to Vietnam fabrication company. The products are used in fabricating machine for this company. Then the customer sell the machine to south America and European market. This Vietnam company purchase more than 100 ton stainless steel from us every month.

API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks Drain hole: The drain hole is generally installed at the bottom of the oil tank, used to remove sludge when cleaning the oil tank, and usually used to drain the sewage in the tank. API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks Safety valve: The role of the safety valve is to play a safety role when the breathing valve fails during the operation of the oil tank. Its working pressure is slightly higher than the pressure of the breathing valve, which can prevent the tank from being damaged due to the high positive or negative pressure in the tank. The safety valve is usually installed in the middle of the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks top.

Compared with other fast-moving consumer goods, steel consumption is obviously different, with a wide range of use and a long service life. Therefore, the quality and service of steel materials are particularly important. Service is always one of our top concerns, especially after-sales service. We have mature after-sales service team, and can help you solve problems professionally during application of the steel materials.
