API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks pontoon design

Oil, Gas, Chemical, Water, and Bio-Fuel storage. Maximum of the most common welded steel tanks used in industry are designed following API 650. Tanks typically found in Refinery API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks tank farms, Terminals, Pipelines, and other process facilities use these tanks.

Allowable compressive stresses shall be in accordance with 5.5.4 except that for aluminum alloy plate the allowable compressive stresses shall be reduced by the ratio of the modulus of compressive elasticity to 29,000 for values of (t – c)/R less than 0.0175 and by the ratio of the minimum yield strength for the aluminum alloy in question to 30,000 for values of (t – c)/R equal to or greater than 0.0175 (see 5.5.2 for definitions). In all other equations in this standard API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks where yield strength or modulus of elasticity is used, such as Equations 27 and 28, similar corrections shall be made for aluminum alloys.

Tank cracks are common API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks defects, mainly including tank wall cracks, internal cracks, weld zone cracks. The reason for these defects may be that the defects not exceeding the standard existed in the early stage of API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks construction, which become obvious after the later use. Or in the process of using the API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks, the tank body material generated new defects due to corrosion, pressure, wear and other reasons, and tank cracks.

The work concept attaches importance to talents, creates a high-income and high-standard employment mode and work mode, actively advocates all kinds of talents to inspire each other, respect each other, unite and act together, cultivates employees' corporate interests above all else, is tolerant and enterprising, learns correct ways of doing things, improves employees' Professional quality, encourages and urges employees to make continuous progress, Continuously realize self value and grow together with the enterprise.

The company's logistics team adheres to the development concept of “gathering advantages, providing superior services, creating value, and leading the market”, and tightly focuses on the strategic positioning of “developing large-scale steel logistics and building large-scale steel supermarkets”. Facing the whole country and integrating into the world to build an "one center, one network" international circulation system. Through the development of 5-10 years, it is expected to form a modern steel industry with annual operating income exceeding 2.5 billion yuan.
