A516 grade 450 plates API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks

The API Std 650 standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) is designed to provide the petroleum industry with welded steel tanks for use in the API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks storage of petroleum products and other liquid products commonly handled and stored by the various branches of the petroleum industry.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid: Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure R-1 and R.3.5.2 through API Standard 620 R.3.5.5. Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in the tank bottom shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other and/or the butt-welds of the annular plate.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API Std 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.
