API 650 unanchored tanks foundations for leak detection

storage tanks API 650 unanchored tanks designed in accordance with the rules and guidelines of API 650 are called API 650 storage tanks. API 650 is a control rule for welded storage tanks that work normally in the normal pressure range.

No matter what type of storage tank needs to be built, the natural conditions of the geographical area where the tank is located should be fully considered in the design. Because natural conditions will affect the service life, storage safety and construction cost of storage tanks such as API 650 unanchored tanks. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API 650 unanchored tanks design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.

Design of Reinforcement for Single Openings in Tank Walls
The 20 in. x 29 in. obround manhole shown in Figure F-5 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 45 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 1/2 in. No corrosion allowance is required. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the horizontal centerline of the opening is 27.5 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.485 in. The manhole neck is fabricated by welding from 3/8 in. plate. The materials in the API 620 tank wall, the manhole neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A516 Grade 60. The joints in the welded steel storage oil tank wall and the longitudinal joint or joints in the manhole neck are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.

The company has an entrepreneurial team composed of highly educated and high-quality talents, whose leaders graduated from famous universities. As the first group of teams engaged in e-commerce industry in China, it witnessed the rapid development of e-commerce, accumulated rich steel professional knowledge and formed a scientific management system.

As steel transportation belongs to the transportation of major parts, so in the process of transportation, modern logistics technology, such as centralized transportation, information technology, is a bit out of place. Based on the current situation of China's API 650 unanchored tanks steel transportation industry, highway transportation is a way of transportation that many enterprises often choose. Naturally, its business volume also accounts for more than 50% of the whole API 650 unanchored tanks steel transportation industry.
