6061 aluminum rod API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks

The density of the liquid API 620 large welded, low pressure storage tanks stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 36 lbf/ft3. The maximum allowable tensile stress shall be taken from Table 5-1 or Table Q-3. For the maximum allowable stresses for design loading combined with wind or earthquake loads, see API Standard 620 5.5.6 for carbon steel and Q.3.3.5 for stainless steel and aluminum.

Test welds of each API 650 tank nozzle and manway reinforcing pad (or each section of multiple piece pad) using dry air and apply a soap solution test in the presence of Purchaser's Inspector before hydro testing the API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks tank. Tap one inch NPT test hole in each pad or section.

Under the condition of static storage without receiving and sending operation, the temperature of gas space, evaporation rate, depth and pressure of vapor in the API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks will change with the change of temperature and pressure in a day. The oil loss caused by the process of discharging oil vapor and inhaling air gas is called "small breathing" loss, which is also called static storage loss of oil tanks.
