aluminum sheet Alclad 3004 API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI, used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other customers.

In order to prevent the deformation of the bottom of metal vertical API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks during welding, comprehensive control measures such as strict control of assembly geometry size, reasonable welding procedure, process control of welding deformation and rigid fixation are adopted during assembly welding. The specific methods are as follows:
1. Strictly control welding groove forming of API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks.
2. Strictly control the size of tank welding seam assembly.
3. Define the welding sequence of tank bottom plate.
4. Reasonable distribution of welders.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API standard 650 petroleum storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.
