API Std 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks welded joint
According to API 650 tanks, anchoring devices should be designed to transfer overturning moments to the API Std 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks tank foundation. At the same time, according to API 650 tank Appendix F, when the tank is to be anchored, the size of the anchoring parts is determined by the maximum lifting force caused by the internal pressure and wind load or the combination of internal pressure and seismic load.
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.
Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API Std 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks. The common API Std 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.
Our company was founded in 2009, and has been committed to steel business since its establishment. Over the years, the company's performance shows a good development trend, with a wide range of customers in the government, domestic and foreign markets. The company has always been in line with the tenet of "based on trust and win with quality", focusing on the market demand, with a long-term vision, with years of hard work and trustworthy operation, and the support of the majority of API Std 650 partially anchored liquid-storage tanks businesses and customers, has won the unanimous praise and trust of the industry and customers!
In view of the characteristics of container transportation, such as high added value, low cargo damage and short time, our company takes more consideration of port collection and distribution conditions, port facilities, flight density and route coverage when choosing ports. For the convenience of customers, as well as the safety of goods.
The company attaches great importance to the cultivation of team spirit. Personal strength is weak. After sales service departments, leaders and subordinates often communicate with each other. Everyone often holds meetings to discuss their problems in after-sales service, discuss technical difficulties, discuss how to improve work efficiency, how to better deal with user complaints, etc.
