EN 10025 S275J0 plates API standard 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks

API 650 storage tank stipulates that if the thickness of the lower wall panel obtained by calculating the anti-overturning moment is greater than the thickness of the API standard 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks hydrostatic pressure test (both do not include the corrosion allowance).

After using for a certain period of time, it is necessary to check the corrosion protection of the metal oil tank and paint the outer wall of the API standard 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks with anti-corrosion paint. The inlet and outlet valves of API standard 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure they are in good condition. Oil tank will produce a lot of dirt when it is stored for a long time. Usually, the cleaning cycle of metal oil tank is about three to five years.

In this project, an elemental area of API 620 oil storage tank wall is constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 2620 lbf/in. tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 2880 lbf/in. compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 132 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 409 in. The joints in the wall are spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints, and no corrosion allowance is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see API 620 tank standard 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum, allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A516 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R for this situation is R1, or 132 in.

BBN company team and culture: tt the end of 2019, in order to thank employees for their hard work and enrich their sparetime lives, the company organized a pleasant trip to Phuket Island, Thailand. This tour lasted 6 days and 5 nights, and returned by plane on the evening of December 27. We took off in Zhengzhou at about 5o'clock in the afternoon on the 22th December. Let's seize the day and live it to the full, and greet the arrival of the year 2020 together.

As a leading international steel supplier, we have two warehouses, close to Tianjin port and Shanghai port. This superior geographical location effectively saves the domestic transportation cost and greatly improves our service level. At the same time, it also shortens our delivery time and provides more convenience for customers.
