Alclad 3004 aluminum plate API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.

Our company was founded in 2009, and has been committed to steel business since its establishment. Over the years, the company's performance shows a good development trend, with a wide range of customers in the government, domestic and foreign markets. The company has always been in line with the tenet of "based on trust and win with quality", focusing on the market demand, with a long-term vision, with years of hard work and trustworthy operation, and the support of the majority of API standard 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks businesses and customers, has won the unanimous praise and trust of the industry and customers!

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.
