The net working capacity of API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks

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 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks with anti-corrosion paint. The inlet and outlet valves of API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel 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.

The thickness of the API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

While GB50341 generally takes the weld coefficient as 0.9;When the minimum yield strength of API standard 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks steel plate is greater than 390 MPa, take 0.85. The thickness of API 650 tanks is generally smaller than that of GB50341, and this difference is particularly evident in the design of large tanks, where the overall weight of the tanks varies greatly.
