A737 grade B plates API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks

storage tanks API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.

Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
