API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks hoop stresses

The advantages of API 650 floating roof tanks have obvious environmental and economic benefits: in a specific climate environment, according to historical data, the economic value of the API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks floating roof tanks in API 650 due to the reduction of oil and gas volatilization within 3-6 months is equivalent The installation and purchase cost of the API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks inner floating roof means that the cost of the inner floating roof can be recovered within half a year.

X-ray inspection is mainly applicable to the internal inspection of pressure bearing parts and materials of metal oil tanks such as API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks. It can clearly find the blocky defects inside the welded joints. However, the cost and resource consumption of radiographic testing are large. Magnetic particle testing can effectively detect the surface and near surface defects of API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks etc. metal oil tanks, but magnetic particle testing can not effectively identify the internal defects of oil tanks.

The API standard 650 ground supported liquid 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.
