API standard 650 self-anchored tanks convective (sloshing) period
The floating roof is the top cover floating on the liquid level, so the sealing performance of API standard 650 self-anchored tanks API 650 oil storage tank is very important. The floating plate mainly adopts elastic packing, and at the same time, it is compressed with the wall of API 650 oil storage tank with pressure strip around, and fixed with the floating plate with bolts. After the API standard 650 self-anchored tanks floating plate is lowered to a certain position of about 1.8m, a prop will support the floating plate to keep it in position.
When encountering heavy rain or continuous heavy rainfall, the safe operation of API standard 650 self-anchored tanks will be affected. For example: the API standard 650 self-anchored tanks is submerged, the oil unloading valve and the flame arrester valve are broken by water and the oil tank leaks. The oil tank area must do emergency work to prevent rainstorm to ensure the safety of the oil tank. Here are some safety protection measures for API standard 650 self-anchored tanks in heavy rain.
In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.
With the development of multimodal transport in the international shipping market and the increase of the complexity of the integrated transport chain, modern ports, as the intersection of the three transportation modes of sea, land and air, are developing from traditional transfer and product distribution functions to all-round value-added services, becoming the central link connecting the world's production, exchange, distribution and consumption, and supporting the world economy and international trade An important part of the developed international circulation system.
