Floating roof API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks

Low-pressure storage tanks Fireproofing
Although general fire prevention and fire protection measures are expected to be fully covered by other safety codes, tanks API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks constructed according to these rules, which may be subject to fire exposure resulting from any cause, shall have their supports suitably fireproofed.
Special consideration shall be given to provisions for ample drainage facilities for accidental spills or leakage of flammable contents from such tanks or adjacent piping and other equipment if the contents may become ignited.
Subject to special considerations in isolated locations, tanks in which flammable liquid products are stored at temperatures well above their average boiling point shall be suitably fireproofed or otherwise protected.

Normal pressure API 650 storage tank: When the gas side pressure of API 650 storage tank is the same as atmospheric pressure or less than 13 atmospheres (gauge), API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks is called atmospheric storage tank. API 650 petroleum storage tanks low pressure storage tank: when the pressure is greater than 13 atmospheres (gauge) and less than 0.1MPa, it is called low pressure storage tank.

API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks, Vertical oil storage tank is an important equipment for many enterprises to carry out production, which provides important support and help for the storage of many reagents. Vertical storage tank is generally used as atmospheric pressure vessel. Advantages: the filling rate of cylindrical structure is second to that of spherical tank, and the largest volume of the storage tank can be made into tens of thousands of cubic meters. The structure is simple and the construction requirements are relatively low.
