1060 aluminum shapes API Std 650 aluminum tanks

Oil storage tank is an important equipment commonly used in petroleum and petrochemical industry. New API Std 650 aluminum tanks, metal storage tank must be tested before it can be put into use or put into storage. The common inspection methods of API Std 650 aluminum tanks include radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing and dye penetrant testing. The parts and operation requirements of these testing methods are different, so they should be selected according to the required characteristics.

Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Butt-weldsComplete penetration and complete fusion is required (to the degree mandated by the acceptance criteria for examination method utilized) for welds joining tank wall plates to API Std 650 aluminum tanks tank wall plates. Examination for quality of welds shall be made using either the radiographic method specified in API 620 standard 7.15.1 and applied in 7.17, or alternatively, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer, using the ultrasonic method specified in 7.15.3.1. In addition to the radiographic or ultrasonic examination, these welds shall also be visually examined as specified in 7.15.5. Furthermore, the Purchaser’s inspector may visually inspect all butt-welds for cracks, arc strikes, excessive undercuts, surface porosity, incomplete fusion, and other defects.

The thickness of the overburden on the top of the API 650 oil tank should not be less than 0.5m. The surrounding backfill with clean sand or fine soil should be no less than 0.3m thick; the API 650 oil tank API Std 650 aluminum tanks operation platform ladder selection unit is considered in a unified manner. The buried operation well is designed for buried horizontal oil tanks, and the two are compatible.
