API 650 storage tank fabrication

The establishment of a correct method for evaluating the life of API 650 storage tank requires the preparation of criteria related to the strength and cracks of API 650 storage tank, mechanical damage mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and mathematical models of fatigue crack growth, etc., which are compiled into computer programs. In the process of programming the program, it is required to select the operating parameters, plates, reinforcement accessories, metal properties, corrosion levels, mechanical damage defects and other data of the oil storage tank under various conditions.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API 650 storage tank tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API 650 storage tank storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

Enterprise style: unity, pragmatism, responsibility, and endeavorOperation Policy: realistic management, innovative technology, high quality, fast efficiency, low cost and complete service.
