5456 aluminum tube API Std 650 fixed roof tanks

Crack treatment of API Std 650 Fixed roof tanks weld area: find out the crack tip with ray or ultrasonic flaw detection, drill cut-off holes at both ends of the crack with the cut-off method, the hole depth is slightly greater than the crack depth, or groove (crack stop groove) is made by angle grinder at both ends of the crack, shovel and grind the whole crack, and grind it into a suitable groove; use radiographic inspection and dye detection to verify that the crack has been completely excavated, and finally repair welding.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 internal floating plate of internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is different from that of open floating plate of API Std 650 fixed roof tanks External floating roof tank of API 650 tank, so it is impossible to have rain and snow load.The company has always been adhering to the business philosophy of "integrity-based, responsibility oriented, quality first, reputation first" and is committed to building a world-class steel materials and service provider. We will continue to work hard to carry forward the enterprise tenet of "quality is the life of the enterprise, survival by quality, development by reputation", and become an enterprise with strong vitality!
