API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks designed and constructed for elevated temperature service

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

Oil storage tank with floating roof structure: The floating roof in the API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks oil storage tank can effectively reduce the volatilization consumption of oil, because the gas space on the oil liquid surface in the floating roof storage tank is small, the exhaust volume is low, and the breathing loss is very small. That can reduce the volatilization loss caused by the "big breath" of the API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks. Strengthen the inspection and maintenance of API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks: regularly check the sealing conditions of oil storage tanks, and check and maintain important auxiliary equipment to ensure good sealing performance.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

The shipping department of the company arranges shipping booking for customers' goods in advance, and makes good matching with inland transportation. Effectively manage and follow up the customer's shipping schedule and give feedback to customers in time. At the same time, the shipping department has a keen insight into the shipping market in different periods to reduce the transportation cost for the company and customers.

Ningbo port has trade and transportation with more than 50 countries and regions, such as the United States, CIS countries, Europe, Africa, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Hong Kong. Ningbo port has initially formed an all-round three-dimensional collection and distribution network of expressways, railways, aviation, river sea intermodal transport, water to water transfer, etc.
