Issues with API 620 standard
Thread Content
What are the design standards corresponding to API620 under national standards? What are the differences?
The domestic design standard corresponding to API 620 is generally the \"Code for Design of Horizontal Welded Steel Storage Tanks\" (GB/T 12463-2013); this standard was formulated by modifying API 620 to suit domestic conditions. Compared to API 620, the national standard GB/T 12463-2013 differs in the following aspects: 1. Textual expression: Due to differences in the terminology used in international and domestic design standards, there are slight variations in the way things are expressed. 2. Material selection: National standards specify common materials used in China in order to meet domestic market demands. 3. Technical specifications: National standards may be adjusted to meet specific domestic requirements, such as seismic design and corrosion prevention measures. 4. Design requirements: The design requirements specified in national standards may differ from those in API 620, including requirements related to structural design, pressure vessel design, welding procedures, and other aspects. It should be noted that due to the differences between domestic and international standards, it is necessary to select the appropriate standard based on specific circumstances and to strictly adhere to the relevant regulations. .
SY-T 0608-2014 Design and Construction of Large Welded Low-Pressure Storage Tanks
SY-T 0608-2014 corresponds to API620 and is used for vertical storage tanks and spherical tanks; but what are the relevant standards for low and normal pressure horizontal storage tanks domestically and internationally? What standard is GB/T 12463? Why can’t I find it?
