API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks compartment plates
Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.In this project a cylindrical tank 75 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 0.5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade B steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less.The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The tank API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks roof is a conical shape with a 2:12 slope and a 1/4 in. thickness with single full-fillet welded lap joints. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of juncture of the roof and sidewall.The application of API 650 is as stated by the American Petroleum Institute: The production and installation of our ground welded steel API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks storage tanks are generally used in industry; under normal circumstances, the storage tanks installed on the industrial site in the United States are in accordance with API 650, API 620 and API 12d Standards are established.Our company has a strong, professional R & D team and advanced and perfect sales service concept, which makes our API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks products have a high visibility and market share at home and abroad.
