API 650 stainless steel storage tanks alternate designs

Personnel organization before the construction of the API 650 stainless steel storage tanks:
The company shall select technical personnel, quality inspectors and material personnel with organizational ability and construction management experience to participate in the API 650 stainless steel storage tanks project construction. The construction personnel shall arrive at the construction site before the designated commencement date, investigate the construction site, build construction facilities, plan the construction steps, and analyze the potential safety hazards during operation.

For all API 620 crude oil tank other materials, the impact test temperature shall be at least 30°F colder than the design metal temperature. Alternately, materials impact tested at the design metal temperature or lower with Charpy impact test energy value of 25 ft-lb (average), 20 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures above –40°F. API 650 stainless steel storage tanks materials with an energy value of 30 ft-lb (average), 25 ft-lb (minimum) are acceptable for design metal temperatures of –40°F or lower.

These API 650 documents will define the bases of design, operation, inspection, tests, examinations, and maintenance of an API 650 stainless steel storage tanks industrial facility. Bidders will study and analyze all this API 650 documentation, both during the preparation of the quotation and during the execution of each project activity.
