API 650 flat-bottom tanks roof-leg supports

Fabricated to API standard 650 Welded Tanks for Oil Storage Shop Assembled API 650 flat-bottom tanks storage tanks, these tanks are commonly used at oil and natural gas terminals, API 650 flat-bottom tanks processing plants, and midstream facilities located along pipelines at the pumping, compression, or metering stations. API 650 storage tanks are designed and fabricated considering operating pressures up to 2.5 PSIG, corrosion allowance, wind loading, and seismicity.

Proper use of API 650 flat-bottom tanks and precautions:
1. The API 650 flat-bottom tanks must be used within the safe height range;
2. Check before use to ensure that the safety valve and breathing valve are flexible and easy to use;
3. The explosion-proof and fire-proof safety measures for oil tanks are implemented effectively;
4. The oil level in the API 650 flat-bottom tanks should be accurately measured when receiving and delivering oil, so as to prevent overflow or empty;
5. In the process of receiving and sending oil, the flow rate of oil should be controlled, and it should not be too fast to avoid electrostatic accidents.

Design of a Double-wall Tank
The outer bottom, shell, and roof of a double-wall tank shall enclose an insulating space around the bottom, shell, and roof or insulation deck of the inner tank that contains the stored liquid. The annular space shall be maintained at a low positive pressure, which necessitates that the enclosure be vapor-tight. The Purchaser shall specify the design metal temperature and pressure of the inner tank and may specify the design temperature and pressure of the outer tank API 650 flat-bottom tanks. The Purchaser shall state the specific gravity of the content to be stored, roof live loads, wind load, earthquake load where applicable, and corrosion allowance, if any.
