API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks leg sleeves
Supply covers for API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks connections specified with the service covers remaining in place following tests. For API 650 tank connections not specified to be supplied with service covers, the test covers may be removed after testing.
The establishment of a correct method for evaluating the life of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks requires the preparation of criteria related to the strength and cracks of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks, mechanical damage mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and mathematical models of fatigue crack growth, etc., which are compiled into computer programs. In the process of programming the program, it is required to select the operating parameters, plates, reinforcement accessories, metal properties, corrosion levels, mechanical damage defects and other data of the oil storage tank under various conditions.
In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. 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 8000 lbf/in.2.The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, 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.
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.
BBN company is a modern enterprise integrating steel producing, warehousing and logistics, processing and distribution. We are committed to creating a "one-stop steel procurement service" platform. The main products are I-beam, angle steel, API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks , H-beam, hot-rolled coil, welded pipe, spiral pipe seamless pipe and many other steel products. Standing stocks amount to more than 30,000 tons, and complete specifications, the company gradually moves towards large-scale distribution enterprises with serialized products, standardized services and modern transportation management.
