API 650 SUG II tanks with a mat foundation

Welded steel API 650 SUG II tanks storage tanks that are designed, manufactured and installed on the ground are classified according to the API standard system. The three API standards API 650 SUG II tanks all adopt on-site production and installation of storage 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.

Proper use of API 650 SUG II tanks and precautions:
1. The API 650 SUG II tanks must be used within the safe height range;
2. Check before use to ensure that the safety valve and breathing valve are flexible and easy to use;
3. The explosion-proof and fire-proof safety measures for oil tanks are implemented effectively;
4. The oil level in the API 650 SUG II tanks should be accurately measured when receiving and delivering oil, so as to prevent overflow or empty;
5. In the process of receiving and sending oil, the flow rate of oil should be controlled, and it should not be too fast to avoid electrostatic accidents.

The company's business philosophy: customer satisfaction is the most important measure of our work performance; employees are the company's most important wealth; the improvement of employees' quality and professional knowledge is the growth of the company's wealth; employees' welfare and living standards are the concrete embodiment of the company's business performance; product and service quality are the lifeblood of the company's development; brand is the company's products and A mirror of service; recognition of the market is the foundation of the company's survival.

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API 650 SUG II tanks goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.

To provide customers with the most satisfactory service and realize the win-win of economic and social benefits, our company promises to provide excellent API 650 SUG II tanks products in this bidding, and in line with the attitude of being serious and responsible to customers, before sending goods to users, the API 650 SUG II tanks technical personnel shall confirm that there is no fault in the equipment before sending goods to users, and then send goods and products to users, and formulate the following service terms.
