The net working capacity of API Std 650 tanks

The API Std 650 tanks external floating roof tank of API 650 tank has many advantages, and its application range is more and more wide. It is a kind of storage tank with a bright future. The well-designed internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is the best and least investment method to control evaporation loss of API Std 650 tanks Fixed roof tank.

Volatilization is the characteristic of oil. Under normal temperature and pressure, as long as the oil is in contact with air, the surface will volatilize. Through scientific analysis and summary, the causes of oil volatilization loss in API Std 650 tanks are: natural ventilation loss, static storage loss, dynamic liquid level loss. In the use of API Std 650 tanks, static storage loss and dynamic liquid level loss are common losses.

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.
