API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks workmanship

Floating roofs shall comply with API standard 650, Appendix C (Attachment 01) or with the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks requirements as layed (laid )down in the national Chinese specifications SH3046-92 and GBJ128-90.

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.

When the day light gradually decreases, the temperature of oil in the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks will also decrease, the evaporation speed will gradually slow down, and the pressure in the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks will also decrease. When the pressure in the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks is lower than the negative pressure rating of the breathing valve, the outside air is sucked into the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks through the open vacuum valve, which is the "suction" process of the oil tank.

Safety production is the cornerstone of enterprise survival and development. The company established a safety management network, which achieved clear powers and responsibilities, clear responsibilities, effective management and control, and provided organizational guarantee for safe production. The company strictly complies with the "Environmental Protection Law", establishes an effective environmental protection emission control system and waste gas, waste water, waste solid recycling system, and makes great efforts to harden, lighten, green, and beautify the plant, and strive to build green steel enterprises.

Our company doesn't need the cheapest quotation to choose international logistics company, but the price performance ratio will be high, the service will be good, and the transportation must be safe and punctual, which will not affect the time when the API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks goods arrive at the destination, and the logistics situation will be well communicated with customers in advance. Therefore, when we choose international logistics companies, we will have a look at their timeliness and service attitude in advance. It is only important to transport goods according to the requirements of customers for logistics.

Our quality and service commitment: API standard 650 aboveground welded storage tanks product quality problems, life-long replacement.In the process of using, any time if you find we supplied steel materials not conform to the requirements of technical standards, we can replace it for you free of charge. However, it should be noted that non product quality problems caused by improper use are not covered by the warranty. Please pay attention to the service time commitment as well as the product quality assurance commitment. Because only the products of big brands and reliable enterprises with complete after-sales service system can truly realize the long-term product quality assurance and the whole process of service.
