API standard 650 horizontal tank gauge wells

,API standard 650 horizontal tank. Manhole: The manhole is used for the operator to enter and exit the oil tank for inspection, cleaning and repair. For the convenience of personnel access, the installation position of the manhole is generally on the center line of the oil tank bottom, and the vertical oil tank is installed at the lowest layer of the tank wall. API standard 650 horizontal tank Light-transmitting hole: Light-transmitting hole is also called day-lighting hole. It is used for lighting and ventilation when inspecting, repairing and scrubbing the oil tank. It is generally installed on the top of the oil tank above the inlet and outlet pipes.In this project, an elemental area of tank wall used is constructed of ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate subjected to a meridional unit force, T1, of 4000 lbf/in.2 tension and a latitudinal unit force, T2, of 5060 lbf/in.2 compression. The meridional radius of curvature, R1, is 75 in., and the length of the normal from the surface to the axis of revolution, R2, is 300 in. The joints in the wall are of double-welded butt-joint construction with a tensile efficiency of 85%. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required.
The problem in this example is to graphically find the minimum thickness of tank wall required for the given conditions (see 5.10.3.3).
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A442 Grade 55 steel plate in simple tension is 16,500 lbf/in.2. Since the compressive stress is latitudinal, the governing value of R in this situation is R1, or 75 in.Normal pressure API 650 storage tank: When the gas side pressure of API 650 storage tank is the same as atmospheric pressure or less than 13 atmospheres (gauge), API standard 650 horizontal tank is called atmospheric storage tank. API 650 petroleum storage tanks low pressure storage tank: when the pressure is greater than 13 atmospheres (gauge) and less than 0.1MPa, it is called low pressure storage tank.The company has always adhered to the corporate purpose of “improving benefits, creating wealth, benefiting employees, and giving back to the society”.
