6063 aluminum tube API 650 horizontal tank

Atmospheric API 650 horizontal tank inspection includes annual inspection and comprehensive inspection. Annual inspection is an inspection during operation to ensure the safety of atmospheric storage tanks during the overhaul period, at least once a year. Comprehensive inspection is a more comprehensive inspection of atmospheric storage tanks according to a certain inspection cycle. The inspection content of metal atmospheric API 650 horizontal tank includes the safety management of the storage tank, the inspection of the tank body and its operating conditions, etc.

The Field-assembled storage tanks manufacturer shall determine that each magnetic-particle examiner meets the following requirements:a)The examiner has vision with correction, if necessary, to be able to read a Jaeger-Type No. 2 Standard Chart at a distance of not less than 12 in. and is capable of distinguishing and differentiating contrast between colors used. These requirements shall be checked annually.b)The examiner is competent in the techniques of the magnetic-particle examination method for which the API 650 horizontal tank examiner is certified, including making the examinations and interpreting and evaluating the results; however, where the examination method consists of more than one operation, the examiner may be certified as being qualified only for one or more of these operations.

API 650 petroleum storage tanks use lightning protection, anti-static, and fire protection measures. The internal corrosion protection should be determined according to the API 650 horizontal tank storage medium, and the outer wall corrosion protection should be determined according to the soil quality of the buried tank.
