Tangential shear in API 650 SUG III tanks

This specification, in conjunction with API 650 Standard, prescribes minimum standards for the API 650 SUG III tanks design, supply fabrication, erection, and testing of field erected welded steel storage tanks complete with accessories as specified herein and as shown on attached datasheets and/or drawings.

The structure of the API 650 SUG III tanks foundation mainly includes the insulating anticorrosion layer on the top surface of the foundation, the tank wall support, the edge retaining structure, the sand cushion, the oil and water barrier, the detection signal tube and other structures. The construction materials and requirements of each basic structure of the storage tank are different. After the structure of the API 650 SUG III tanks foundation is built in accordance with the construction requirements, the settlement of the storage tank foundation needs to be observed, and the uneven settlement value of the storage tank foundation should be within the allowable safety range.

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. 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 6000 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.

After comprehensive and professional training such as customer service, the customer service team has more strict discipline in the management of customer service team to ensure that customer service personnel respond to customers with a professional attitude. A process supervision system has been set up to let each customer supervise the process of the system with us

The predecessor of Ningbo port is Ningbo Port Authority. Ningbo port consists of Beilun port, Zhenhai port, Ningbo port, Daxie port and Chuanshan port. It is a multi-functional and comprehensive modern deep-water port integrating inland river port, estuary port and seaport.
