API Std 650 carbon steel tank tank anchorage

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.

Structural features of API 650 double-layer oil tank: steel glass fiber reinforced plastic double-layer structure, special processing method is adopted between the API Std 650 carbon steel tank internal steel shell and glass fiber reinforced plastic layer, so that a gap of 0.1 mm is created between the internal and external layers. Even if the API 650 oil storage tank leaks, it can ensure that the contained dangerous substances only flow in the gap, and will not immediately overflow the external environment.

Tunisia cutomer purchased around 1500 tons 304L,310S stainless steel plate from us and make tanks in August, 2017. The company was skilled in the design and manufacture of stainless steel tanks, API Std 650 carbon steel tank processing systems and equipment for the food, dairy, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and pure water industries. They also sent the inspection team come our company and visited our production line. After using our stainless steel plate, the customer was very satisfied with our products.

Weld inspection of API Std 650 carbon steel tank, vertical oil tank wall plate: In the welding inspection process of oil tank wall plate, attention should be paid to the defects of thick wall plate, such as incomplete penetration, incomplete root fusion and cracks. If there is a root incomplete penetration defect, it is necessary to open the weld joint with carbon arc air gouging and grinding machine grinding, or even weld through, and then weld again after the defect is removed.

After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication.
