Alclad 3003 aluminum tube API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks

The effect of air pressure on the API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks tank walls of the API 650 tank must be considered when the design pressure is greater than 2 kPa.The fixed point method can be used to design the tank wall of atmospheric or micro internal pressure API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks storage tank.

Storage tank is used to store all kinds of liquid, solid and gas materials. The common types of storage tank are oil tank, water storage tank, chemical tank, cement tank, API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks, etc. When choosing the storage tank, users should choose according to their actual needs, such as the material, pressure, form, capacity, temperature, density, etc. In addition, the environmental factors such as the temperature of the tank construction area, the ground endurance of the foundation, and the wind force should be considered.

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.

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.

The company attaches great importance to logistics services, sets up our own transport truck fleet, improves customer response capacity through the improvement of logistics capacity, and further reduces costs. Customers ordering API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks steel from our company can not only enjoy the service of fast delivery, but also enjoy lower transportation costs. Fast, accurate, simple and efficient has always been our principle.
