API 650 liquid storage tanks formulas

The API 650 liquid storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

The API 650 tank Standard has the built in flexibility to be used in building tanks to store a wide variety of products while ensuring the structural stability of the API 650 liquid storage tanks tank.

1200 tons API 5LGRB strips to Bangladesh. In December of 2015, we get one tender project from National Tubes Limited, which is a famous national enterprise in Bangladesh. It is an order of 1200 tons API 5L Gr. B steel strips, they bought these cargo to fabricate ERW pipe in local place.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API 650 liquid storage tanks. The common API 650 liquid storage 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.
