API 650 petroleum storage tanks sliding friction

Design calculations and drawings required API 650 petroleum storage tanks for the fabrication and erection of each API 650 tank. A drawing index for each API 650 tank is required and shall be re-submitted each time drawings are revised and re-issued.

Oil tank is an important equipment for oil storage. The common API 650 petroleum storage tanks is composed of foundation, bottom plate, wall plate, top plate and accessories. The types of oil tank are various, which can be divided according to the characteristics of material, installation position, storage oil, use, appearance, structure and volume of oil tank. The commonly used materials of metal oil tank are stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.

In this project, a cylindrical tank 62 ft 6 in. in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 4 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 steel with appropriate grades for different plate thicknesses in accordance with Table 4-1 for a design metal temperature less than 65°F but not less than 25°F. No corrosion allowance is required for any portion of the tank. The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The roof is a single lap-welded spherical dome with an internal radius of 50 ft and a thickness of 1/4 in. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of the juncture of the tank API 650 petroleum storage tanks roof and sidewall.
