API standard 650 ground supported tanks appurtenances

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API standard 650 ground supported tanks tanks below 5000 m.

The establishment of a correct method for evaluating the life of API standard 650 ground supported tanks requires the preparation of criteria related to the strength and cracks of API standard 650 ground supported tanks, mechanical damage mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and mathematical models of fatigue crack growth, etc., which are compiled into computer programs. In the process of programming the program, it is required to select the operating parameters, plates, reinforcement accessories, metal properties, corrosion levels, mechanical damage defects and other data of the oil storage tank under various conditions.

Foundations and subgrade shall safely carry the weight of the tank API standard 650 ground supported tanks and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the highest level required for a hydrostatic test or other water-loading operations, even though the tank itself may be designed for some lesser density of liquid. However, in cases where the character of the soil justifies it and a competent soil expert advises it, allowance may be made for the relatively short duration and intermittent nature of the water loadings if suitable account is taken of all such loadings that may be expected to occur during the life of the tank, including not only those loadings that are incidental to periodic repetitions of the hydrostatic test in accordance with 7.18 but also water-filling operations for gas-freeing purposes.

The company adheres to the principle of integrity, standardization and efficiency, wins the market with technology, gains reputation with creative services, and wholeheartedly provides customers with high-quality API standard 650 ground supported tanks, efficient and fast services. Facing the future, adhere to independent innovation.

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.
