API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks typical foundation types

The advantages of API 650 floating roof tanks have obvious environmental and economic benefits: in a specific climate environment, according to historical data, the economic value of the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks floating roof tanks in API 650 due to the reduction of oil and gas volatilization within 3-6 months is equivalent The installation and purchase cost of the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks inner floating roof means that the cost of the inner floating roof can be recovered within half a year.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks. The common API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

The thickness of the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks annular bottom plates shall be in accordance with Table Q-4 (for steel or aluminum, as applicable). The thicknesses shown are minimums. The ring of annual plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but it may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with Q.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by a weld as required by API 620 oil tank 5.9.5 except when a full-penetration weld is used or required (see Q.7.1.1). Butt-welds in annular plates shall be not closer than 12 in. from any vertical weld.
