Mechanical loading on API 650 welded steel storage tanks

Above-ground API 650 storage tanks (vertical cylindrical flat-bottomed storage tanks) allow the storage of large volumes of goods at low cost. The only limitation is that they API 650 welded steel storage tanks can be used under atmospheric pressure or relatively small internal pressure. There are different specifications and standards for the design of API 650 storage tanks.

The finned tube heating device for high temperature heat transfer oil for large API 650 welded steel storage tanks has the advantages of convenient inspection and maintenance. The high-efficiency fin heating coil assembly is composed of spirally arranged finned coils. The fins are mainly arranged in the straight pipe section, and the whole assembly is supported by several angle steel supports. The high-efficiency fin heating coil component can enter and exit from the manhole of the API 650 welded steel storage tanks, which is convenient for maintenance and repair.

Design of Reinforcement for Single Openings in Tank Walls
The 20 in. x 29 in. obround manhole shown in Figure F-5 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 45 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 1/2 in. No corrosion allowance is required. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the horizontal centerline of the opening is 27.5 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.485 in. The manhole neck is fabricated by welding from 3/8 in. plate. The materials in the API 620 tank wall, the manhole neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A516 Grade 60. The joints in the welded steel storage oil tank wall and the longitudinal joint or joints in the manhole neck are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.
