API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks leg sleeves

The liquid level of API 650 oil storage tank is covered by floating roof. The storage liquid of API 650 oil storage API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks tank is isolated from the air, reducing air pollution, fire and explosion hazards, and easy to ensure the quality of liquid storage. It is especially suitable for the API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks storage of high-grade gasoline, jet fuel and toxic and easily polluted liquid chemicals.

API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks, Oil tank is a large-scale storage equipment used to store oil materials. Usually, the service life of API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks is related to the actual working conditions. The design service life of most oil tanks is 20 years, and some of them are 10-15 years. Generally, none of them is less than 10 years. However, the design service life of API 650 mechanically-anchored tanks is on the one hand, which is an ideal state, but there are many objective factors in the actual process, it is impossible to achieve the designed service life. How to effectively increase the service life of API 650 mechanically-anchored 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.

Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.

The company's logistics uses third-party logistics. This logistics model plays an important role in improving the efficiency of our business operations. Third-party logistics is an important form of logistics specialization. As a company specializing in logistics, third-party logistics companies have a wealth of experts who specialize in logistics operations, which is conducive to ensuring the professional production of the company, reducing costs, and improving logistics level of the company. Both the customers and the company benefit from the logystics mode.
