A333 grade 1 pipe API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks
API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks, Oil tanks can be divided into above ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, offshore tanks and submarine tanks according to their installation positions. Oil tanks can be divided into crude oil tanks, fuel oil tanks, lubricating oil tanks, edible oil tanks, etc.. According to the use of oil tanks, oil tanks can be divided into production tanks, storage tanks, etc.. According to the external style, oil tanks can be divided into vertical tanks, horizontal tanks, etc.. According to the composition structure, oil tanks can be divided into fixed roof storage tank, floating roof tank, spherical tank, etc.
For all API 620 crude oil tank other materials, the impact test temperature shall be at least 30°F colder than the design metal temperature. Alternately, materials impact tested at the design metal temperature or lower with Charpy impact test energy value of 25 ft-lb (average), 20 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures above –40°F. API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks materials with an energy value of 30 ft-lb (average), 25 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures of –40°F or lower.
API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.
