The foundations for API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank

Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:
1. API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;
2. API 650 petroleum storage tank working temperature: -30℃~150℃;
3. API 650 petroleum storage tank liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol;
4. API 650 petroleum storage tank volume: current design considerations generally do not exceed 10,000 cubic meters.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

The most popular standards for API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank 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 cylindrical liquid-storage tank, 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 cylindrical liquid-storage tank standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

The company revolves around the long-term strategy of "building a quality base and building a century-long BEBON", adheres to the development ideas of innovation, transformation, and improvement, vigorously promotes transformation and upgrading, structural adjustment, energy conservation and emission reduction, and strives to create high-quality steel with strong core competitiveness and distinctive features The production base has become a green steel city with intensive land use, clean production, efficient use of resources, harmonious and friendly production and environment, business and society, and BEBON characteristics.

In addition to our own truck fleet, we also have long-term cooperation with certain logistics companies to ensure that we can deliver API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank goods in time and smoothly. At the same time, because of the long-term cooperation and huge shipping volume, we can get a good transportation price and save transportation cost for the company and customers. Meanwhile, we have Shipping Department to arrange shipping work in advance. So as not to waste time on transportation both in land and on the sea.

Our company will accept the product quality objection registration record, pass it to the API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank production unit and relevant departments, and timely coordinate the supervision of product API Std 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank quality objection. Our company coordinates the relevant department personnel to the customer unit to carry on the investigation, the processing.
