API Std 650 aluminum tanks allowable longitudinal membrane compression stress in shell

In this project, an area of tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. A corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. is required. The computed (meridional) tensile stress, stc, in the net thickness after deduction of the corrosion allowance is 6000 lbf/in.2.
The problem in this example is to find the maximum allowable (latitudinal) compressive stress value for the given conditions, in conformance with the provisions of API 620 tank standard 5.5.4.5.

API 650 storage tank, double-layer oil tank environmental protection advantages: ordinary single-layer steel API Std 650 aluminum tanks oil tank is corroded by underground water and gas and electrolytic corrosion because it is buried underground all year round. The API 650 tank has a double-layer structure with a gap of 0.1 mm. The API Std 650 aluminum tanks outer layer of FRP ensures that the leakage will not directly leak into the soil and water source.

We cooperated with the Peruvian government for many years. And supply them large diameter steel pipes and pipe fittings to support their Hydropower Station Projects. We do 100% UT, RT, Hydraulic test and so on tests for the API Std 650 aluminum tanks steel pipes. And do PT, MT and so on tests for the pipe fittings. We published "Welding Procedure Qualification report" after production. And our mill will keep the test record in the documentary department for 5 years. If meet any problems in following application, we can check the test record easily and assist to solve problems at the first time.

Personnel organization before the construction of the API Std 650 aluminum tanks:
The company shall select technical personnel, quality inspectors and material personnel with organizational ability and construction management experience to participate in the API Std 650 aluminum tanks project construction. The construction personnel shall arrive at the construction site before the designated commencement date, investigate the construction site, build construction facilities, plan the construction steps, and analyze the potential safety hazards during operation.

Compared with other fast-moving consumer goods, steel consumption is obviously different, with a wide range of use and a long service life. Therefore, the quality and service of steel materials are particularly important. Service is always one of our top concerns, especially after-sales service. We have mature after-sales service team, and can help you solve problems professionally during application of the steel materials.
