Standards for the construction of large storage tanks
Thread Content
What are the standards for the construction and inspection of large storage tanks in China? Which standards should be implemented? What are the standards for tank construction abroad?
In China, there is: GB 50128-2005
1 GB50341-2003 for design; 2 GB50128-2005 for construction; 3 JB4730-2005 for non-destructive testing; 4 50160-2008 for fire protection design
Industry standard: JB/T4735-1997 Steel welded atmospheric pressure vessels
For large storage tanks, JB/T4735-1997 is not applicable, I believe. In China, there is also SY 4202-2007, \"Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering – Storage Tank Projects.\" Abroad, the main standard is API650-2007, \"Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage.\"
Domestic standards: “GB50341-2003 Code for Design of Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Oil Tanks”, “GB50128-2005 Code for Construction and Acceptance of Vertical Cylindrical Welded Storage Tanks”, “SY/T 0606-2006 Code for Field-Welded Liquid Storage Tanks”, “SY 4202-2007 Code for Quality Inspection of Construction in Petroleum and Natural Gas Projects – Storage Tank Projects”, “SY/T 0608-2006 Design and Construction of Large Welded Low-Pressure Storage Tanks”, “SH 3046-1992 Code for Design of Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Storage Tanks in Petrochemical Industries”, “HG 21502.1-1992 Series of Steel Vertical Cylindrical Fixed-Top Storage Tanks”. International standards include: “API 620 Design and Construction of Large, Welded and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks”, “API 650 Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage”, “JIS B8501 Structure of Welded Steel Oil Tanks”, “BS Vertical Welded Steel Oil Tanks for the Petroleum Industry”
The 6th floor is very comprehensive. One more thing: SH/T3530-2001 \"Construction Technology Standards for Vertical Cylindrical Steel Storage Tanks in the Petrochemical Industry\"
Thank you all for helping me so much; I’m going to start learning these standards
One more thing: SH/T3537-2002 \"Technical Specifications for the Construction of Vertical Cylindrical Low-Temperature Storage Tanks\"
One more thing: GB50393-2008 \"Technical Code for Anti-corrosion Engineering of Steel Oil Storage Tanks\"
I’d like to add as well that the BS-7777 standard for the design and construction of cryogenic storage tanks is said to be the most authoritative standard of its kind in the world
