API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks anchorage forces

Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.

API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.

API 650 "welded storage tanks" API 650 self-anchored flat-bottom steel tanks is a standard developed and issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API), which specifies the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture, installation and inspection of welded storage tanks.
