API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks anchorage forces

API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks belongs to metal oil tank. Metal oil tank is a kind of vessel made by welding steel plate. The common shapes of metal tank are vertical metal tank, horizontal metal tank and spherical metal tank. The advantages of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks etc. metal oil tank are good sealing, not easy to leak, can be installed with heating and insulation function, metal tank can withstand high internal pressure, large vertical metal tank such as API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks also has the characteristics of small floor space and large storage capacity.

The impact tests for API 620 welded storage tanks used pipe (including structural members made of pipe), bolting, and forgings, shall be in accordance with ASTM specifications ASTM A333 (seamless only) pipe, ASTM A36 Mod 1 plate, ASTM A131 Grades CS, D, and E steel plate, ASTM A633 Grade A CSA G40.21 Grades 38WT, 44WT and 50WT high-strength low-alloy structural steel plate, ASTM A350 carbon and low alloy steel forgings, and ASTM A320 Grade L7 bolts.

API 650 is used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', which are suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other projects.
