3004 aluminum rod API 650 self-anchored tanks

The API 650 is the American standard for welded flat-bottomed vertical API 650 self-anchored tanks storage tanks. This standard dictates tank design, manufacture, welding, inspection and installation requirements.

Prefabrication requirements of API 650 self-anchored tanks, large vertical storage tank wall panels:
1. The prefabrication of wall panel shall be processed in strict accordance with the requirements of the drawings, and inspection records shall be made.
2. After the wall panel is rolled, it should be placed on the platform for inspection with a template. In the vertical direction, use a straight-line template to check, the gap should not be greater than 2 mm, and in the horizontal direction, use an arc-shaped template to check, and the interval should not be greater than 4 mm.
3. When wall panels are rounded, attention should be paid to prevent irreversible plastic deformation caused by external forces. After rolling, it should be placed on the platform for inspection, and then placed on the prepared mold.

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.
