API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank with flat bottoms
Sand blasting and derusting of API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank uses compressed air as power and SiC, pomegranate sand and quartz sand as spraying materials to form high-speed jet beam, which is used to remove rust and dirt on the surface of metal storage tank and improve the binding force of workpiece with coating and plating material. Sand blasting is often used in API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank construction.
Determination of Required CapacityThe aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.
For floating roof API 650 tanks, the net working capacity is the liquid volume contained between the API 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank maximum operating level (300 mm below rim for metallic type seals and 600 mm below rim for fabric type seals) and the minimum operating level (API 650 tanks roof supports clearing the tank bottom by 25 mm while set at the operating position).
