5652 aluminum plate API 650 welded steel storage tanks

Similarities between API 650 and API 620 tanks Both tanks are used for storage purposes. Both API 620 and API 650 containers API 650 welded steel storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature).

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.

API 650 welded steel storage tanks Breathing valve: The function of the oil tank breathing valve is to adjust the oil and gas pressure in the tank. When the pressure in the tank is too high, part of the excess oil and gas will be discharged through the breathing valve to reduce the pressure in the tank; when the pressure in the tank is too low, through breathing The valve sucks in air from the outside of the tank to increase the pressure in the tank and keep it constant with the atmospheric pressure. The breathing valve is usually installed at the top of the oil tank.

Management concept: integrity is the cornerstone, talent is the foundation, and service is the key.Business philosophy: to keep faith, to win by quality, customer first, win-win development.Based on integrity, win customers with good reputation, win competition with excellent product quality, improve service with customer orientation, and pursue the goal of win-win development in cooperation with customers.Sincerely welcome customers to visit and negotiate business.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.

The company focuses on two markets at home and abroad, and has a group of 56 experienced sales elites and professional and technical personnel. It can provide customers with drawing design, API 650 welded steel storage tanks deep processing services and installation solutions. 20 years of project experience has provided high-quality carbon steel, alloy steel products and high-quality after-sales service to customers in many countries around the world. The company has won widespread praise from customers.
