API 650 SUG I tanks butt-welded construction

The API 650 SUG I 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 company's after-sales service tenet is "customer first, timely guarantee, enthusiastic service and effective work". In order to establish a set of perfect after-sales service system and strict management system, so that the after-sales service can be effectively guaranteed. The company has set up after-sales service department to ensure timely, unique and effective response to every user's request, coordinate internal resources internally, and put an end to all evasion and delay.

Inspection of API 650 SUG I tanks bottom: magnetic flux leakage scanning technology is used to detect the corrosion condition of API 650 SUG I tanks bottom plate (such as corrosion depth and area, crack length, etc.). When there is a defect in the bottom plate of the API 650 SUG I tanks, the magnetic field distribution will change and the sensor can detect it. The bottom of the oil tank should be free of foreign matters and dry during testing. Weld inspection of API 650 SUG I tanks bottom plate: when vacuum leak test method is used to detect the tightness of oil tank bottom plate, soap water shall be applied to the weld and vacuum box shall be covered for observation.

API 650 is widely used for tanks that are designed to internal pressures of 2.5 PSI or less and store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and API 650 SUG I tanks produced water. Advance Tank has extensive experience with API 650 tanks ranging in diameter from 8' - 300' for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other clients.
