Soil-structure interaction effects for API standard 650 SUG I tanks
Materials for API standard 650 SUG I tanks primary components shall comply with the requirements of Tables R-1 and R-2. All primary components shall be impact tested in accordance with R.2.1.2 through R.2.1.4. Impact testing of API 620 welded storage tanks plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with Table R-1. Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling.
While GB50341 generally takes the weld coefficient as 0.9;When the minimum yield strength of API standard 650 SUG I tanks steel plate is greater than 390 MPa, take 0.85. The thickness of API 650 tanks is generally smaller than that of GB50341, and this difference is particularly evident in the design of large tanks, where the overall weight of the tanks varies greatly.
In 2013, one of our clients in Korea purchased 890 tons Q345B square tube from us for one building construction project. Our clients required no burr in the side of the tube, we finally produce the goods with great condition and +/-0.25mm tolerance for wall thickness, which is a very great tolerance with customers’ required size. Our square tube full available range is 2-16mm for wall thickness, and 40-500mm for width. In addition, our Q/C department will seriously control all of the process of every order.
}Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API standard 650 SUG I tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API standard 650 SUG I tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.
We should help solve the customer's problems in time, not just verbally, without solving the problems or shirking the responsibility. Improving after-sales efficiency can make customers feel respect. We should take their problems seriously and show sincerity. It can also give customers a good impression and reduce the negative impact.
