API standard 650 SUG III tanks requirement

API 650 Application As described by the American Petroleum Institute, the fabrication and installation of our surface welded API standard 650 SUG III tanks steel storage tanks is normally used in industrial applications. In general, our standards for industrial on-site installation of storage tanks are established according to API 650, API 620 and API 12D.

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 head of API standard 650 SUG III tanks etc. vertical oil tank is the end cover on the top of vertical oil tank. It is used to separate the oil stored in the tank and the medium outside the tank, and also used to bear the pressure on the top of the vertical oil tank. The quality of the head is closely related to the long-term safety of the API standard 650 SUG III tanks. The head surface can be divided into convex shape, cone shape and flat shape according to its shape. The oil tank head can not be disassembled after welding.
