API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks corrosion allowances

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

The temperature requirements of the API 650 oil storage tank area are closely related to the evaporation loss, energy loss, API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks storage and storage platform tank materials and the selection of detection instruments, or the temperature of the API 650 oil storage tank area. The cost of storage has a direct impact.

Good news: In May 17th, 2018, the Myanmar navy's local representative visit our office and hot rolled plate production line, and sign another contract 2025 tons LR A shipbuilding steel plates API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks order in our office. With the fast development in Myanmar, Myanmar navy build frigate every year. Bebon cooperated with Myanmar Navy company from from 2015. They purchased 412 ton LR AH36 ship steel plate from Bebon as trial order in 2015. After receiving the goods, they speak highly of the quality and bebon's service. After that they purchase the shipbuilding steel plate from bebon regularly.

The structure of the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks foundation mainly includes the insulating anticorrosion layer on the top surface of the foundation, the tank wall support, the edge retaining structure, the sand cushion, the oil and water barrier, the detection signal tube and other structures. The construction materials and requirements of each basic structure of the storage tank are different. After the structure of the API Std 650 flat-bottom tanks foundation is built in accordance with the construction requirements, the settlement of the storage tank foundation needs to be observed, and the uneven settlement value of the storage tank foundation should be within the allowable safety range.

We should focus on the main problems to be solved and pay attention to efficiency. After receiving the user's quality objection report data, the possible causes, responsible units, compensation amount, etc. of the problem shall be judged based on experience. To have a clear service plan, to be clear about what your main problem is, what technical support is needed, these should be prepared.
