API 650 ambient temperature tanks site-specific response spectra

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.

Welded steel API 650 ambient temperature tanks storage tanks that are designed, manufactured and installed on the ground are classified according to the API standard system. The three API standards API 650 ambient temperature tanks all adopt on-site production and installation of storage tanks.

In November of 2015, Thailand one company contacted with us from Internet. They are find the trustable supplier of S355J2H seamless pipe API 650 ambient temperature tanks for there cable car supporter. Due to the special using of the pipes, they are very careful and servious when choosing the supplier. After one months contact and discussion by email, they come to our company. We drive to the pipe mill for visit of 2 days. Through this visit, they are very confident with our production ability and proucts quality. Finally, they accept the grade we suggest Q345D. After back to office, they put the order of 1400 tons pipe to us directly.

Generally, external environment corrosion should be considered before design and construction of API 650 ambient temperature tanks and so on storage tanks. The corrosion on the outer surface of storage tank is often worse than that on the inner surface. Especially in the chemical industry area, there are often acid fog, alkali or salt dust in the atmosphere. These impurities form an active corrosive medium with dew or steam and oxygen in the atmosphere. The corrosion of the external environment of the storage tank shortens the maintenance period of the storage tank, even causes the storage tank to be scrapped in advance, which affects the normal operation of the storage and transportation.

Our company regularly visits customers, consults and follows up the after-sales service, and directly solves problems for customers. In the use of our steel materials, whether quality problems or not, the after-sales will help solve the problem as soon as possible. We promise free life-long replacement for any product quality problems. The sound after-sales service system make you free from worries.
