2024 aluminum shapes API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks

API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks belongs to metal oil tank. Metal oil tank is a kind of vessel made by welding steel plate. The common shapes of metal tank are vertical metal tank, horizontal metal tank and spherical metal tank. The advantages of API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks etc. metal oil tank are good sealing, not easy to leak, can be installed with heating and insulation function, metal tank can withstand high internal pressure, large vertical metal tank such as API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks also has the characteristics of small floor space and large storage capacity.

The tank shall be filled with water to the design liquid level unless height is limited as noted in API 620 standard Q.8.1. After the tank is filled with water and before the pneumatic pressure is applied, anchorage, if provided, shall be tightened against the hold-down brackets. All welds in the API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks shell, including the corner weld between the shell and the bottom, shall be visually checked for tightness.

Design calculations and drawings required API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks for the fabrication and erection of each API 650 tank. A drawing index for each API 650 tank is required and shall be re-submitted each time drawings are revised and re-issued.
