API standard 650 fixed roof tanks minimum roof live load

The temperature requirements of the API 650 oil storage tank area are closely related to the evaporation loss, energy loss, API standard 650 Fixed roof tanks storage and storage platform tank materials and the selection of detection instruments, or the temperature of the API 650 oil storage tank area. The cost of storage has a direct impact.

Oil storage tank is an important equipment commonly used in petroleum and petrochemical industry. New API standard 650 fixed roof tanks, metal storage tank must be tested before it can be put into use or put into storage. The common inspection methods of API standard 650 fixed roof tanks include radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing and dye penetrant testing.

The pressed-steel, round manhole with a 20-in. inside diameter shown in Figure F-8 is located in API 620 crude oil tank solid plate in spherical portion of a torispherical roof on a cylindrical storage tank 72 ft in diameter. The internal pressure, Pg, on the underside of the roof is 15 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness, t, of the roof plate required by 5.10.3 for the spherical portion of the roof is 1/2 in., which is exactly the thickness provided. No corrosion allowance is required. The materials in the oil tank roof plates and manhole frame conform to ASTM A283 Grade C steel; the main joints in the roof are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
