API 650 floating-roof tanks restrictions on stiffening rings

The standard API 650 covers the design and calculation of different parts of the API 650 floating-roof tanks fuel tank. This specification is based on the knowledge and experience of buyers, manufacturers and users of API 650 welded storage tanks of different sizes and capacities. It is worth noting that the code requirements are minimal; stricter standards can be adopted for specific applications.

API 650 floating-roof tanks test procedure
The inner tank shall be opened to the atmosphere, and a sufficient amount of water shall be added to the inner tank to balance the upward pressure against the inner tank bottom produced by the pneumatic test of the outer tank; as an alternative, the pressure between the inner and outer tanks can be equalized. API Standard 620 Air pressure shall be applied to the space enclosed by the outer tank equal to at least the design gas pressure but not exceeding a pressure that would overstress either the inner or outer tank.

When encountering heavy rain or continuous heavy rainfall, the safe operation of API 650 floating-roof tanks will be affected. For example: the API 650 floating-roof tanks is submerged, the oil unloading valve and the flame arrester valve are broken by water and the oil tank leaks. The oil tank area must do emergency work to prevent rainstorm to ensure the safety of the oil tank. Here are some safety protection measures for API 650 floating-roof tanks in heavy rain.
