Behavior of API Std 650 self-anchored tank

Material for the outer tank API Std 650 self-anchored tank and for the roof that contains the vaporized liquefied gas but is primarily subjected to atmospheric temperatures may conform to one of the following:
a)Table 4-1 for design metal temperatures down to –35°F (lowest 1-day mean ambient temperature of–35°F) without impact test unless they are required by Table 4-1 or by the Purchaser.
b)Table R-3 for design metal temperatures down to –60°F without impact tests unless they are required by Table R-4 or by the Purchaser.API 650 sets minimum requirements for the design, material, construction, and testing for aboveground, open and closed-top, cylindrical API Std 650 self-anchored tank steel storage tanks in different capacities and sizes, roughly equating to the pressure of the atmosphere (not greater than the weight of the roof plates).This customer is a leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction company serving the Hydrocarbon and Chemical industries spanning Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Refining, Fertilizer and related sectors in India. The A335 Grade P5 Steel Pipe and P9 API Std 650 self-anchored tank Seamless Steel Pipe we supplied is for EIL refineries project.The cone slope of the completed API Std 650 self-anchored tank foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API Std 650 self-anchored tank should have at least 4 detection tubes.If customers have any difficult problems during use of the steel materials, they can contact the company's after-sales service department to feedback the existing problems. The after-sales department will reply as soon as possible to ensure that each customer has a good after-sales experience. Under special circumstances, the after-sales service department will start the problem-solving process, and the engineers in charge of the area will quickly follow up to solve the problem.
