API 650 welded storage tanks sample hatches

The API 650 welded 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.

API 650 is an American standard for welding flat bottom vertical storage tanks. This API 650 welded storage tanks standard specifies requirements for the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation of storage tanks. API 650 is widely used in storage tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures and used to store typical products such as API 650 welded storage tanks crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. BBN has extensive experience in API 650 tanks, from +/- 500 cubic meters of tanks produced in the factory to +/- 15000 cubic meters of tanks produced on site.

High temperature heat transfer oil fin tube heating device for large API 650 welded storage tanks has the advantage of high heat transfer efficiency. The high-temperature heat-conducting oil finned tube heating device adopts high-efficiency outer finned tubes. The outer finned tube coils are immersed in a water bath. Compared with ordinary light tubes, the contact area between the evaporation coils and the medium is increased. The total heat transfer coefficient of the coil is determined by the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube. This increases the heat flux per unit tube length and improves the overall heat transfer efficiency.
