API Std 650 welded storage tanks larger than 50 ft in diameter
API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantages of high safety: the API Std 650 welded storage tanksinner floating plate floats on the liquid surface, so that the liquid phase has no evaporation space, which can reduce the evaporation loss by 85% to 90%. At the same time, the API 650 petroleum storage tank blocks the air and liquid storage through the floating disk, which reduces air pollution and reduces the degree of fire risk.
The most popular standards for API Std 650 welded storage tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API Std 650 welded storage tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API Std 650 welded storage tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.
For all API 620 crude oil tank other materials, the impact test temperature shall be at least 30°F colder than the design metal temperature. Alternately, materials impact tested at the design metal temperature or lower with Charpy impact test energy value of 25 ft-lb (average), 20 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures above –40°F. API Std 650 welded storage tanks materials with an energy value of 30 ft-lb (average), 25 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures of –40°F or lower.
