API Std 650 SUG I tanks site-specific response spectra

Impact Test Requirements for Oil storage tanks Primary Components
All API Std 650 SUG I tanks primary components of 9% or 5% nickel steel shall be impact tested in accordance with Q.2.2.2 through Q.2.2.4. Impact testing is not required for primary components of austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Welds in high-alloy (austenitic) stainless steel shall be impact tested if required by Q.6.3.
Impact testing of plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with the following:a)Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling. b)Charpy V-notch specimens shall be cooled to a temperature of –320°F for A353, A553, and A645 steels for impact testing.

Determination of API 650 oil tank container: The total volume should be determined according to factors such as transportation mode and API Std 650 SUG I tanks fuel supply cycle. For train and ship transportation, the maximum consumption is not less than 20-30 days; the maximum consumption for automobile transportation is not less than 5-10 days.

The hot weather in summer brings great security challenges to the vertical oil storage tanks, API Std 650 SUG I tanks standing outdoors. We must find some simple and effective methods to protect the API Std 650 SUG I tanks in order to make them safely spend the summer. As a API Std 650 SUG I tanks manufacturer, in order to reduce the direct sunlight rate of the vertical oil tank, reduce the temperature change of the oil tank, and reduce the evaporation loss of the oil tank, we usually adopt the measures of applying sunscreen paint and washing with warm water.
