API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks neck plate

Customer service center has provided after-sales service for many large-scale information systems, and has accumulated rich working experience in the process of API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks service for many years. It can provide accurate, timely and high-quality support and service for users, which is well received by users.

All oil tanks have service life. Due to the pressure of the oil stored on the tank and the corrosion of the oil and external environment on the tank, the oil storage tank will gradually become thin or crack after a long time. Due to the different materials and environment of API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks, the consumption of API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks is different, so it should be taken into account when evaluating the remaining service life of API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks.

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.
