90ft diameter API standard 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks
Unqualified welding quality of API standard 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks is prone to hidden dangers such as oil tank steel plate cracks and leakage. To avoid this situation as much as possible, it needs to be avoided when the oil storage tank is manufactured. Scientific and reasonable measures are adopted to control the welding quality when welding the API standard 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?
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 standard 650 unanchored liquid-storage 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.
API Standard 650 is typically used for carbon, stainless steel and aluminium API standard 650 unanchored liquid-storage tanks tanks located in terminals, refineries, pipelines and other process facilities. Both have different pressure and temperature parameters as well. Your choice of model will depend on you and/or your client s particular needs.
