API standard 650 aluminum tanks structural member thickness

Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API standard 650 aluminum tanks: The prefabrication of the tank top shall be prefabricated in blocks according to the drawings. Pay attention to the spacing of the welds after installation when setting out the material. Reinforcing ribs should be formed and inspected with an arc-shaped template. When a single top plate needs to be spliced, butt joints should be used. The forming of a single top plate should be welded between the reinforcing ribs and the top plate on the mould. After forming, check with an arc-shaped sample plate, and the gap should not be greater than 10 mm.

When the API standard 650 aluminum tanks top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

Large net shell API 650 tanks or net shell of tank API standard 650 aluminum tanks is a tank top for the surface grid structure and the physical structure form of truss structures, thin shell structure is reasonable, mainly for the top using triangle net shell, socket type net shell or meridian reticulated shell technology for the design of API standard 650 aluminum tanks large-scale tank top, its great spanning capacity and uniform stress, good rigidity, less material, convenient assembly, safe and reliable.
