API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks thickness

According to API standard 650, the stairs used for API 650 petroleum storage tanks or thermal insulation tanks should be double longitudinal beams supported by a minimum of ribs. If the gap between the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks tank shell and the stringer of the API 650 petroleum storage tank exceeds 200mm, handrails should be provided on both sides of the stairs. Unless otherwise specified, according to API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks ASTM A123, the following accessories shall be hot-dip galvanized. The damaged zinc coating should be repaired with zinc alloy.

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.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks. The soil endurance in the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage 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 Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

The API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks company has established the corporate values of being proud of innovation and winning, and successfully realized the management of corporate culture. In BBN, leaders are not controllers and supervisors, but earnest API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks teachers, coaches and enthusiastic friends, so that employees can have more democracy, more autonomy, independence and creativity, and the belief of winning.
