API standard 650 ambient temperature tanks bottom connections

The application of API 650 is as stated by the American Petroleum Institute: The production and installation of our ground welded steel API standard 650 ambient temperature tanks storage tanks are generally used in industry; under normal circumstances, the storage tanks installed on the industrial site in the United States are in accordance with API 650, API 620 and API 12d Standards are established.

The pressed-steel, round manhole with a 20-in. inside diameter shown in Figure F-8 is located in API 620 crude oil tank solid plate in spherical portion of a torispherical roof on a cylindrical storage tank 72 ft in diameter. The internal pressure, Pg, on the underside of the roof is 15 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness, t, of the roof plate required by 5.10.3 for the spherical portion of the roof is 1/2 in., which is exactly the thickness provided. No corrosion allowance is required. The materials in the oil tank roof plates and manhole frame conform to ASTM A283 Grade C steel; the main joints in the roof are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.

The cone slope of the completed API standard 650 ambient temperature tanks foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API standard 650 ambient temperature tanks should have at least 4 detection tubes.
