Erection requirements for API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks
The coating on the outer wall of API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks can not only reflect light but also prevent corrosion. Different coatings for oil tanks have different reflective properties, and the reflective performance of coatings is expressed by reflection index. For example, the reflection index of white coating is 90.0, that of sky blue coating is 85.0, and that of light gray coating is 57.0. It can be seen that the white coating has good reflective performance, and coating the outer surface of API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks with white coating can reduce the evaporation consumption of the oil tank.
In this project, an area of steel storage oil tank wall is constructed of ASTM A285, Grade C, steel plate that is 5/8-in. thick and has spot-radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The wall is subject to tension in a meridional direction and to compression in a latitudinal direction. The values of R1 and R2 at the point under consideration are 75 in. and 300 in. respectively. 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 6000 lbf/in.2.
Upon completion of construction, provide Purchaser with copies of Field Erected API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks storage tank Datasheets in accordance with Appendix L of API 650, which reflects the as-built conditions, certifying that the tank conforms with the requirements of this specification.
Firmly establish the "people-oriented, safe development" concept, strictly follow the safety production policy of "safety first, prevention first, comprehensive management", strengthen and improve the management and supervision of safety production in an all-round way, and strive to improve the controllability of safety management And effectiveness, cultivate safety culture, improve long-term safety production mechanism, and build a harmonious BEBON.
