9m diameter API 650 vertical welded storage tanks

Cylindrical Oil storage tanks Discharge Pipes
When a discharge pipe is used on the outlet side of such relieving devices, its area shall be not less than the area of the valve outlet, or if a single pipe provides for discharge from several relief devices, its area shall be not less than the aggregate area of the valve outlets. The API 650 vertical welded storage tanks discharge pipe shall be fitted with an open drain to prevent water or other liquids from lodging in the discharge side of the valves.
Discharge pipes shall be supported so that no undue stress is placed on the valve body. Open discharges shall be placed and oriented so that the outflow is directed away from the tank and will not create a hazard over walkways, stairways, or operating platforms.

Floating roofs shall comply with API standard 650, Appendix C (Attachment 01) or with the API 650 vertical welded storage tanks requirements as layed (laid )down in the national Chinese specifications SH3046-92 and GBJ128-90.

When the API 650 vertical welded storage tanks is welded, the weldment should be fixed rigidly. After welding, when the weldment is cooled to normal temperature, the rigid fixation can be removed, which can effectively prevent angular deformation and wave deformation. Although some measures have been taken, the welding deformation of API 650 vertical welded storage tanks is still unavoidable, so it is necessary to take corrective measures to compensate the deformation. Mechanical correction is to make the parts easy to deform in the welding process by mechanical or other rigid materials to produce simple deformation, so as to restore the state before welding.
