API 650 aluminum tanks site-specific response spectra

API 650 storage tank stipulates that if the thickness of the lower wall panel obtained by calculating the anti-overturning moment is greater than the thickness of the API 650 aluminum tanks hydrostatic pressure test (both do not include the corrosion allowance).

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

The mechanical seal of floating roof API 650 aluminum tanks relies on mechanical force to press the sealing steel plate tightly against the tank wall, so that it can slide on the tank wall and avoid gap as far as possible. However, mechanical seal has high requirements for the geometry of storage tank and poor adaptability, so mechanical seal is rarely used in newly built floating roof API 650 aluminum tanks.

Service concept:Customer satisfaction is our value. Thank customers for their trust, respect their rights and interests, care about their needs, understand their concerns, realize their satisfaction and promote their success. Sincere and friendly, warm and thoughtful, relaxed and pleasant, considerate and tolerant. Attentive service, sincere care, professional excellence. The first-class famous products API 650 aluminum tanks at home and abroad gather, and the outstanding charm of the East and the West radiates! Specialization, standardization, refinement, kinship.

Our company's logistics breaks through the perspective that the center of transportation service is ability, and emphasizes that the purpose of transportation service is customer first. Customer demand determines the content and mode of transportation service, while production is often small batch, diversified and consumer demand tends to be diversified. In the case of personalization, our logistics service also provides personalized service projects.

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. At the same time, a traceable product traceability system has been established. It has always been placed at an important core position to resolve customer worries. Our steel API 650 aluminum tanks products are always committed to “quality issues, life-long replacement”, which is the embodiment of our comprehensive service.
