API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks ultrasonic examination

The interior of API 650 storage tanks to be internally lined or coated must have all edges rounded to a minimum of 3 mm radius. Internal welds must be completely seal welded, ground smooth, and free from API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

In order to ensure the safety of the vertical storage tank, API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks, the supplier should inspect the tank carefully before delivery. The failure of the tank body is mainly due to the weld and crack of the product. The inspection of API standard 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks, vertical storage tank weld and microcrack is mainly to inspect the appearance forming quality of weld. The inspection contents include weld leg height, undercut, welding deformation, weld bead, arc pit, weld straightness, etc., as well as the internal quality of weld, such as slag inclusion, porosity, incomplete penetration, crack, incomplete fusion, etc.
