API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks with flat bottoms

The business department is mainly responsible for communicating with customers, from the manufacturing of steel plates, steel pipes and other products, knowing customers' needs and processing conditions, etc. within the time agreed with customers, the delivery time is short, the price is the most competitive, and the service is the best. Their responsibilities are to deal with customer consultation, solve customer problems, update production plans, and instruct the logistics department to deliver products to customers.In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.API 650 petroleum storage tank stipulates that if the thickness of the lower siding obtained by calculating the anti-overturning moment is greater than the thickness of the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks hydrostatic pressure test (both do not include the corrosion margin), the calculated thickness of the above siding required by the hydrostatic pressure is It should also be increased by the same proportion, unless special analysis is performed to determine the seismic overturning moment and corresponding stress at the bottom of each layer of API 650 petroleum storage tank wall.We have a high-quality elite team, with a wealth of steel products resources and business experience. The company has established a perfect career development channel to provide all employees with broad job development opportunities, clear career planning, so that the potential can be fully explored, talent can be fully exploited, and a platform for employees to realize the value of life can be built, so as to realize the common growth and development with employees in the long-term development of the company.The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
