API Std 650 fixed roof tanks of adequate safety

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API Std 650 Fixed roof 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 Std 650 fixed roof tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.When roof plates, knuckle plates, compression rings, and manways and nozzles including reinforcement are primarily subjected to atmospheric temperature, the rules in API 620 oil tank standard Q.2.3 shall govern.
Large Welded storage tanks Secondary Components
In general, secondary components include those components that will not be stressed to a significant level by the refrigerated liquid, those whose failure will not result in leakage of the liquid being stored, those exposed to product vapors, and those that have a design metal temperature of –60°F or higher.Under the same sealing effect, the internal floating roof tank of API 650 oil storage tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the API Std 650 fixed roof tanks External floating roof tank. This is due to the shielding of the fixed roof and the gas layer between the fixed roof and the internal floating plate, which has more significant heat insulation effect than the double disc floating roof of the API Std 650 fixed roof tanks external floating roof tank."Adhere to green development, implement basic national policies to conserve resources and protect the environment, and take the goal of creating a resource-saving and environment-friendly iron and steel joint enterprise to promote the construction of ecological civilization.Strengthen the construction of core talents, further release the talents' innovative wisdom and innovation potential, and promote the efficient and high-quality development of enterprises. Adhere to the people-oriented principle, persist in relying on employees for development, share development results with employees, and build a harmonious enterprise."The alloy steel plate is among our business scope, and it is one of our main product.
