API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank in SUG III

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank tanks below 5000 m.

Inspection of API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank bottom: magnetic flux leakage scanning technology is used to detect the corrosion condition of API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank bottom plate (such as corrosion depth and area, crack length, etc.). When there is a defect in the bottom plate of the API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank, the magnetic field distribution will change and the sensor can detect it. The bottom of the oil tank should be free of foreign matters and dry during testing. Weld inspection of API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank bottom plate: when vacuum leak test method is used to detect the tightness of oil tank bottom plate, soap water shall be applied to the weld and vacuum box shall be covered for observation.

When the API standard 650 cylindrical liquid-storage tank top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.
