Closed- and open top API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks

This API 650 tank standard is designed to provide industry with tanks of adequate safety and reasonable economy for use in the API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks storage of petroleum, petroleum products. and other liquid products.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

In the final analysis, the market competition is the competition for customers. Whether selling products or services, the final customer satisfaction is the standard to test the success or failure of marketing work. The so-called after-sales service is to fully understand customers, study customer psychology, pay attention to after-sales details, improve work shortcomings, improve service quality, and Exchange customer brand loyalty through the whole process of quality service.
