A678 grade A plates API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tanks use lightning protection, anti-static, and fire protection measures. The internal corrosion protection should be determined according to the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks storage medium, and the outer wall corrosion protection should be determined according to the soil quality of the buried tank.

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

Personnel organization before the construction of the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks:
The company shall select technical personnel, quality inspectors and material personnel with organizational ability and construction management experience to participate in the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks project construction. The construction personnel shall arrive at the construction site before the designated commencement date, investigate the construction site, build construction facilities, plan the construction steps, and analyze the potential safety hazards during operation.
