API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks with a berm foundation

Welding certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For both API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks storage tank API 650, non-destructive inspection is required, but third-party inspection is not required.

Atmospheric API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks refer to storage tanks whose gas or vapor pressure is greater than -0.02MPa but less than 0.1MPa. Metal atmospheric storage tanks made of steel welded on the ground are often used to store petroleum, chemical and other similar liquids. Atmospheric API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks usually have a connecting pipe directly connected to the atmosphere, so that the operating pressure in the storage tank does not exceed the design pressure at all times.

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.

It is very important for an enterprise to have a sound after-sales service system, which not only ensures the normal outflow and inflow of the company's products, but also improves the trust of the company's products in the hearts of customers. Our company has a special after-sales service team and good after-sales service reputation. In case of any problem in the use of our steel products API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks , whether quality problem or not, the after-sales service department will assist in solving the problem as soon as possible, and regularly consult and track the use of the steel products.

Accept the inquiry from the owner of the goods and the inquiry by sea: master the port and price from the port of shipment to all continents and routes, and the port and price that the owner often needs to serve; the shipping schedule information of the main shipping companies; when necessary, ask the owner of the inquiry for some category information, such as the name of the goods, the level of danger, etc. (water hazard code).
