The process parameters should be strictly controlled in sand blasting of API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks. The working pressure of abrasive chamber is between 0.5 and 0.6a, and the outlet pressure of air compressor shall not be lower than 0.6 WPa. According to the test results, the distance between nozzle and workpiece shall be controlled at 80 - 200 mm and spraying angle of 30 ~ 75°is appropriate.

Inspection of Welded Storage Tanks Surfaces Exposed during FabricationThe edges of API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks plates, openings and fittings exposed during fabrication shall be inspected carefully to make sure that any defects have been uncovered, as well as to determine that the work has been performed properly.Minor defects found may be repaired only after the inspector approves the method and extent of repairs.
