API Std 650 ground supported tanks allowable longitudinal membrane compression stress in shell

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 Std 650 ground supported tanks 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.

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 ground supported 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.

Atmospheric API Std 650 ground supported tanks refer to storage tanks whose gas or vapor pressure is greater than -0.02MPa but less than 0.1MPa. Metal atmospheric storage tanks made of steel welded on the ground are often used to store petroleum, chemical and other similar liquids. Atmospheric API Std 650 ground supported tanks usually have a connecting pipe directly connected to the atmosphere, so that the operating pressure in the storage tank does not exceed the design pressure at all times.

The company uses online training system to let all employees use fragmented time to carry out targeted training anytime, anywhere, regardless of time and geographical restrictions. Through training to improve API Std 650 ground supported tanks work skills, at the same time, through training, let all improve their own quality education level, let employees work around a goal, create a career and achieve results.

The company attaches great importance to logistics services, sets up our own transport truck fleet, improves customer response capacity through the improvement of logistics capacity, and further reduces costs. Customers ordering API Std 650 ground supported tanks steel from our company can not only enjoy the service of fast delivery, but also enjoy lower transportation costs. Fast, accurate, simple and efficient has always been our principle.

After sales service support personnel pay attention to commitment in their work. In the process of people to people communication, mutual trust is an important factor for the long-term and stable communication.
