CSA G40.21 Gr 350WT plates API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks

The company has been engaged in the design, construction and installation of foreign API 650 standard API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks storage tanks for a long time. It has the international qualification of ASME welding technology, has the design ability of API 650 oil tanks and API 650 storage tanks, and has pressure vessel design and manufacturing license and GC pressure pipeline installation license. Certificate, API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks petrochemical equipment pipeline general contracting qualification, safety production license, international trade import and export license.

Ultrasonic testing can find the internal defects of API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks welding joint, this detection method is very accurate for the internal layer defects of oil tank, but ultrasonic detection is not suitable for the detection of thin-walled storage tank materials. Dye penetrant testing is only suitable for detecting the defects of the surface opening of API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks and so on metal oil tanks. The feature of this method is convenient and fast.

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.

Our company has sales department, technology department, quality inspection department, after-sales department, logistics department. Each department has professional knowledge and high professional quality, put customers first, think about the interests of customers, actively communicate with customers and solve problems smoothly.

The company's logistics and transportation department is responsible for developing high-quality third-party logistics companies, to coordinate and follow up the situation of steel materials transportation. Third-party logistics companies provide us with professional logistics services. With this logistics management method, the time for delivery of steel materials is faster, and the logistics service is professional, multifunctional and comprehensive.
