Wind load on API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank

Any joints between the adjacent sections of API 620 oil storage tank stiffening rings, as shown in Figure Q-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joint ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole and other weld joint ends and shall be completed by moving away from these ends. Passes shall be overlapped away from edges to provide a smooth continuous weld.

The inner layer of API 650 tank is the same as that of single layer tank. It is made of high-quality steel plate in strict accordance with the standard of "steel welded atmospheric pressure vessel". The thickness of API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank steel plate reaches the standard and the service life is longer.

With the fast development in Myanmar, Myanmar navy build frigate every year. We Cooperate with Myanmar Navy from 2015. They purchased 412 ton LR AH36 steel plate from us as trial order in 2015. After receiving the API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank goods, they speak highly of the quality and our service. After that they purchase the shipbuilding steel plate from us regularly. In May,2018, the Myanmar navy’s local representative visit our office and production line, and sign another contract 2025 ton steel order in our office.

Generally, the building area temperature of the API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank should be considered before the tank design and construction. The temperature in the API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank building area is closely related to the evaporation loss, energy loss, storage tank materials and the selection of detection instruments, or has a direct impact on the storage cost of the storage liquid. For the same medium, the higher the air temperature and the longer the duration, the higher the material temperature in the API 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank, the higher the corresponding pressure and the more volatile loss.

Respect customers and treat each other sincerely. Customers are always right. Always remember that the user is the God of the enterprise, respect the customer, and accept the customer's opinion modestly is the guarantee of the long-term development of the enterprise. Adhere to this concept, so that the service and the product are the same, long-term.
