API standard API 650 SUG III tanks

Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:
1. API 650 SUG III tanks Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;
2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃～150℃;
3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;
4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API 650 SUG III tanks. The soil endurance in the API 650 SUG III tanks construction area plays a decisive role in the basic cost of the tank. In areas with high soil resistance, not only the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced, but also the ratio of height to diameter of storage tank can be obtained. Therefore, the investment cost of the API 650 SUG III tanks can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

The inner and outer tanks may be decoupled for seismic design of the tank and anchorage and assumed to act independently. However, if the inner and outer tanks API 650 SUG III tanks are supported by a common foundation, the seismic foundation loading shall be calculated using the lesser response modification values for either the inner tank or outer tank for both tanks and a dynamic analysis shall be performed to determine the combined effect.
Allowable Stresses: For Appendix R tanks, design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large low pressure storage tank, Section R.3.3.

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The company uses outsourced logistics operations. Our cooperated professional third-party logistics providers use the advantages of large-scale production and cost advantages to achieve cost savings by increasing the utilization of resources in each link, so that we can benefit from the separation of cost structure. Therefore, we can also provide customers with better, faster and more efficient cargo transportation, delivery, and lower freight costs.
