API Std 650 storage tanks roof support legs

storage tanks API Std 650 storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.

Prefabrication requirements of large vertical API Std 650 storage tanks accessories: the prefabrication shall be deepened as far as possible in strict accordance with the requirements of construction drawings and specifications, according to the principle of convenient installation and construction, as much as possible to reduce the installation workload, especially the workload of high-altitude operation. The prefabricated accessories shall be strictly inspected to ensure the quality and make marks. In addition, effective measures should be taken to prevent deformation, damage and corrosion during storage, transportation and stacking on site.

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.

The shipping department of the company arranges shipping booking for customers' goods in advance, and makes good matching with inland transportation. Effectively manage and follow up the customer's shipping schedule and give feedback to customers in time. At the same time, the shipping department has a keen insight into the shipping market in different periods to reduce the transportation cost for the company and customers.

In view of the characteristics of container transportation, such as high added value, low cargo damage and short time, our company takes more consideration of port collection and distribution conditions, port facilities, flight density and route coverage when choosing ports. For the convenience of customers, as well as the safety of goods.
