The lowest design temperature of API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks tanks below 5000 m.

In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.

The cone slope of the completed API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks should have at least 4 detection tubes.

Training is one of the important factors in the construction of corporate culture. Online training system can be used to enable all employees to take advantage of fragmented time and carry out targeted training anytime and anywhere without the limitation of time and region. Through training to improve work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career, and produce results.

Land transportation inquiry: (RMB fee) it is required to master the kilometers and towing price of major cities; packing price of each port area; customs clearance fee, commodity inspection fee, and animal and plant inspection fee standard. Key information to be clarified after accepting the consignation of the consignor (generally fax): shipping date, number of packages, box type, box quantity, gross weight and volume.

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