API 650 special tank level gauge
The API 650 tank Standard has the built in flexibility to be used in building tanks to store a wide variety of products while ensuring the structural stability of the API 650 special tank tank.
Due to the surge in business volume in recent years. In addition to coordinating our own truck fleet, our logistics department has continuously developed high-quality logistics companies and signed long-term cooperation agreements. While enjoying the professional and fast service of logistics companies, we have significantly reduced transportation costs. That not only ensure our customers receive the goods at the same time, but also help them reduce shipping costs.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.
