Behavior of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks

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.

storage tanks API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks designed in accordance with the rules and guidelines of API 650 are called API 650 storage tanks. API 650 is a control rule for welded storage tanks that work normally in the normal pressure range.

The Egypt customer ordered 130 tons API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks stainless steel plate in stock, and this batch has left port today for its destination today(October 25th, 2019). 316l stainless steel is molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. This material has better corrosion resistant property than 304/314L for it's higher Ni and Mo content. (it is considered to be marine grade stainless steel, not suitable for warm sea water treatment). 316L austenitic stainless steel supplied by our company has good formability and weldablity, additionally it is proved to have excellent properties of tensile, creep and stress-rupture strengths in elevated temperature environment.

In order to prevent the deformation of the bottom of metal vertical API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks during welding, comprehensive control measures such as strict control of assembly geometry size, reasonable welding procedure, process control of welding deformation and rigid fixation are adopted during assembly welding. The specific methods are as follows:
1. Strictly control welding groove forming of API Std 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks.
2. Strictly control the size of tank welding seam assembly.
3. Define the welding sequence of tank bottom plate.
4. Reasonable distribution of welders.
