API 650 storage tank bottoms

storage tanks API 650 storage tank built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.

The most popular standards for API 650 storage tank are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API 650 storage tank, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API 650 storage tank standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

API 620 Steel Oil Tank Bottom and Shell Support
The tank API 650 storage tank under-bottom insulation shall be designed to resist the combined pressures from the product load, the overturning seismic load and the vertical seismic load. These seismic pressures may be combined by SRSS.
The bearing ring under the shell shall be designed to resist the calculated OLE peak compressive force in the tank shell due to overturning (see API 650 oil tank, Section E.6.2.2), including dead and live loads. A 33 % increase in allowable bearing stress is permitted.

It is very important for an enterprise to have a sound after-sales service system, which not only ensures the normal outflow and inflow of the company's products, but also improves the trust of the company's products in the hearts of customers. Our company has a special after-sales service team and good after-sales service reputation.
