45ft diameter API 650 carbon steel storage tanks

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.

Structural features of API 650 double-layer oil tank: steel glass fiber reinforced plastic double-layer structure, special processing method is adopted between the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks internal steel shell and glass fiber reinforced plastic layer, so that a gap of 0.1 mm is created between the internal and external layers. Even if the API 650 oil storage tank leaks, it can ensure that the contained dangerous substances only flow in the gap, and will not immediately overflow the external environment.

We supply 5800 tons A53 Gr B ERW pipes to Qatar for Qatar Integrated Railway Project - Green Line. This is the first Metro Line in Qatar, and it is located in Doha. We got the order by tender, launched by the Qatar Railways Company for designing, construction and completion of Green Line Project. Before putting order, a delegation from the API 650 carbon steel storage tanks project side visited us and several other famous steel pipe mills in China for 15 days. Finally, we were chosen and finished the task exceeding their expectations.

In order to ensure the safety of the vertical storage tank, API 650 carbon steel storage tanks, the supplier should inspect the tank carefully before delivery. The failure of the tank body is mainly due to the weld and crack of the product. The inspection of API 650 carbon steel storage tanks, vertical storage tank weld and microcrack is mainly to inspect the appearance forming quality of weld. The inspection contents include weld leg height, undercut, welding deformation, weld bead, arc pit, weld straightness, etc., as well as the internal quality of weld, such as slag inclusion, porosity, incomplete penetration, crack, incomplete fusion, etc.

The company adopts one-to-one fast service and has formed a professional after-sales service team to deal with various problems reflected by customers as soon as possible.
