API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks anchorage

The API 650 specification provides guidelines for the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks design, manufacturing, materials, installation and inspection of welded vertical and cylindrical tanks. Such containers must be on the ground and have a closed or open top.

In this project, the area of tank wall used is of the same construction, material, and geometry as that described in F.1.3.1 except that the thickness of the plate is 3/8 in. The wall is stressed in the same manner as is described in F.1.3.1. 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 8000 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.
Solution: As determined from Table 5-1, the maximum allowable tensile stress value, Sts, for ASTM A285, Grade C, 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.

API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks Oil measuring hole: The oil measuring hole is used to measure the height, temperature and sampling of the oil stored in the tank, and is installed near the tank top platform. API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguisher (also known as the flame arrestor) of the oil tank is composed of a fire box, a copper wire mesh and an aluminum partition. It is installed under the breathing valve or safety valve to prevent sparks and air from entering the inside of the tank through the breathing valve or safety valve and causing accidents.

The API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks company has established the corporate values of being proud of innovation and winning, and successfully realized the management of corporate culture. In BBN, leaders are not controllers and supervisors, but earnest API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks teachers, coaches and enthusiastic friends, so that employees can have more democracy, more autonomy, independence and creativity, and the belief of winning.

Our company doesn't need the cheapest quotation to choose international logistics company, but the price performance ratio will be high, the service will be good, and the transportation must be safe and punctual, which will not affect the time when the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks goods arrive at the destination, and the logistics situation will be well communicated with customers in advance. Therefore, when we choose international logistics companies, we will have a look at their timeliness and service attitude in advance. It is only important to transport goods according to the requirements of customers for logistics.

Our company will accept the product quality objection registration record, pass it to the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks production unit and relevant departments, and timely coordinate the supervision of product API Std 650 mechanically-anchored tanks quality objection. Our company coordinates the relevant department personnel to the customer unit to carry on the investigation, the processing.
