API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank design pressure

Atmospheric API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank inspection includes annual inspection and comprehensive inspection. Annual inspection is an inspection during operation to ensure the safety of atmospheric storage tanks during the overhaul period, at least once a year. Comprehensive inspection is a more comprehensive inspection of atmospheric storage tanks according to a certain inspection cycle. The inspection content of metal atmospheric API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank includes the safety management of the storage tank, the inspection of the tank body and its operating conditions, etc.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.

The outer layer of API 650 tank is glass fiber reinforced plastic layer with a thickness of more than 2.5mm, which API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank has strong corrosion resistance and electric corrosion resistance. Special process technology is used between the two layers to make the gap reach 0.1 mm, so as to eliminate the existence of potential safety hazard from the root.
