The design of foundations for API Std 650 SUG III tanks
API 650 storage tanks API Std 650 SUG III tanks are only suitable for containers that can evenly support the entire bottom and containers for non-refrigerated equipment with a design maximum temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It API Std 650 SUG III tanks requires a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch. Other characteristics of the API 650 storage tank are: it is composed of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum.
The bottom plate of the vertical API Std 650 SUG III tanks directly contacts with the foundation soil, which is suitable for the flexible foundation, and its settlement characteristics are quite different from that of the rigid foundation. For the settlement calculation of the foundation of a vertical API Std 650 SUG III tanks, the one-way compression layered sum method can be used. The calculation method is to divide the foundation soil into several layers of compression within the calculation depth of the foundation settlement, and then find the sum. The calculation method of the compression amount of each layer is the same as the calculation method of the compression amount under the condition of no lateral deformation.
Temporary Openings after Hydrostatic TestWhen approved by the Purchaser in writing, and only in the case of tanks which when complete have no shell penetrations, it is permitted to restore by welding up to four temporary shell openings after the hydrostatic test in accordance with the provisions of this section. Each temporary opening shall be restored by the insertion of a shell plate that matches the thickness and specification of adjacent shell material, and is welded into place with full fusion butt-welds. The API Std 650 SUG III tanks insert plate shall be round with diameter no less than 24 in. and no greater than 42 in.
