API Std 650 cylindrical tanks calculated failure pressure

The thickness of the overburden on the top of the API 650 oil tank should not be less than 0.5m. The surrounding backfill with clean sand or fine soil should be no less than 0.3m thick; the API 650 oil tank API Std 650 cylindrical tanks operation platform ladder selection unit is considered in a unified manner. The buried operation well is designed for buried horizontal oil tanks, and the two are compatible.

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.

Crack treatment of API Std 650 cylindrical tanks weld area: find out the crack tip with ray or ultrasonic flaw detection, drill cut-off holes at both ends of the crack with the cut-off method, the hole depth is slightly greater than the crack depth, or groove (crack stop groove) is made by angle grinder at both ends of the crack, shovel and grind the whole crack, and grind it into a suitable groove; use radiographic inspection and dye detection to verify that the crack has been completely excavated, and finally repair welding.
